The End of the Sentence by Maria Dahvana Headley
4.0
This is a delightfully weird novella. The basic premise is that a man moves into a house and starts getting letters from the original owner telling him that the owner will be home at "the end of the sentence."
I read this book based on the NPR Book Concierge 2014. It was a well written, fast read at only 100+ pages. The beginning was very strong and interesting. It was spooky and weird (not scary) and kind of delightful. As the story unravels it gets complicated and really, really weird. I'm not sure I could even describe it if I wanted to.
Overall, this was a fun, light read for something totally different. I wouldn't recommend this to everyone. I would recommend this to anyone interested in horror, fantasy or whole likes weird things.
