In the House in the Dark of the Woods by Laird Hunt

2.0

This was hard to follow and generally obnoxious, but in a very specific way where I know at least one of my friends is going to have this as their favorite book of all time and I'm going to have to be nice about it even if I don't want to be nice about it (but I'll try!). It's like Alice in Wonderland for adults, but bad.

A quote:

"Truth has many different drawers and shelves."

I wrote that down but looking back I'm thinking, okay? Yeah? And??

I very nearly DNF'd this book, truth be told! But it often takes me a while to "get into" any sort of fantasy. This is marketed as horror, but feels more like a modern "edgy" fairy tale. The original fairy tales are much scarier!
