Reflective of the inescapable violence that permeates the very root of existence, The Cabin at the End of the World paints a horrifying, disorientating tale of sacrifice and survival when confronted with a seemingly impossible choice. Tinged with apocalyptic overtones, Tremblay treads on a delicate equipoise between what's real and imagined, where its true existential horror lies in the absence of free will or control and consequentially suffering from one's actions, filling readers with cosmic dread, despair, and trepidation despite the novel's ambiguity.

I really really enjoyed this book up until the last couple of paragraphs. I think it is such an interesting concept as in usually with home invasion thrillers we have people breaking in who have the main goal of harming or hurting the victims and this book is a great flip of that. Most of our home invaders are  sympathetic and you get the feeling they wouldn’t be there if they didn’t have to be. The dynamics of the characters are very interesting and it is such an interesting book overall. I’m very excited for the movie!
