I really enjoyed it as a literary work. I agree that it might not be what you are after if you’re looking for straight up horror. There are unsettling parts, but I think the parallel stories are the most interesting. Kind of a descent into madness along two plot lines. I recommend it to folks that read a bunch just as a unique experience. Haven’t come across anything else quite like it.
I’ll follow this up with a recommendation to buy your bread and freeze it. We never go through a loaf or a pack of buns before it starts to go bad. Just grab a few right out of the freezer and pop it in the toaster. Comes out great. Will eventually get freezer burn and have soft spots, but we can usually work through a pack before then.
