If insanity is doing the same thing over and over, this book is the definition of that. Willow is stuck in a routine, and even worse, she goes through the motions in such a rote way that she doesn’t even remember doing things. Did she make dinner? Was she in the garden? Is Liam drugging her?
The book is accurately described as a fever dream; it’s also a hallucination, a never-ending carousel ride, and a very sad descent into madness. From the “incident” that means she can never go back to her favorite grocery store, to the disappearance of Sarah, the one person who means so much to Willow, we see inside the mind of someone struggling to make sense of her reality. To understand what bad thing happened in the room. Willow goes from one horrific scenario to the next. There but for grace, go you or I. Marie Still writes horror in a way that is vivid, and far too real.
If you want to know what it feels like to be immersed in a fever pitch of disorienting claustrophobia, read this book!
