The slow horror of watching your life fall apart, one terrible decision after another

Come Closer by Sara Gran

December 28, 2023 by ingres77 Leave a Comment

I had low expectations going into this book, but I was in the mood for something quietly horrifying and unsettling. I saw someone praising this on Reddit, and it was freely available on Audible. And it was exactly what I wanted. Which is to say, it left me deeply unsettled. Amanda, an architect in what appears to be a happy marriage, finds her life slowly unraveling. It starts off with  a quiet tapping in her apartment that she and her husband can quite track down. […]

That’s okay though; this is an interesting enough mystery tale with shifting […]

This is a sinister story that you can read in just a few hours. It’s about Amanda, who is happily married with a great job as an architect. As strange things begin happening to her, she can’t quite figure out if it’s her, or something else. Like the tapping she constantly hears at home (it’s the pipes), or the strange incident at work (must have been a practical joke). But as things get more sinister, Amanda finds herself consulting a book on demon possession she’s […]
