Edith's Diary by Patricia Highsmith

3.0

Memorable but unbelievably creepy. Not like Shirley Jackson's weird domestic ghost stories, also featuring women losing their minds, but rather so quietly revolting that you want to take a bath afterwards and curl up with a cozy mystery. Edith's son Cliffie is one of Highsmith's classic sociopaths, and even thinking about him makes me shudder.
