5.0
a reflection of bret easton ellis’s strained relationship with his late father, wrapped inside a classic haunted house ghost story, with some serial killer, stalker, and child abduction sub plots. packed full of references to ellis’s previous novels in a very meta way. big themes of outrunning your past selves, the lingering effects of childhood, fatherhood, family, guilt, etc with the usual confusion and unreliable narrator of his other works ie american psycho and glamorama. absolutely loved this!!
