a quick, gripping, weird and chillingly entertaining read.
i loved the simplicity and thrill of the story and narration. also liked that it was written from the stalker's perspective, so whenever someone addressed the narrator, it felt weird in a way, like breaking the fourth wall.
overall, strong and powerful and easy to get through due to masterful yet minimalistic language.
a story so simple, however, that the re-readability factor is rather low.
