There’s a persistent undercurrent of the horror of being a woman in the mid 20th century, which is to be expected. I tagged some mental illnesses which could be triggered by scenes in the book, butherelieshenry's review against another edition

It’s always interesting to see the literary DNA of a genre through its classics. In particular, I think it’s fascinating to look at the characters as early iterations of different horror archetypes in this book; for example, Mr. Dudley stuck out to me as a prototype of the “Crazy Ralph” character.
