2.5 stars
'Trancelike, his spirit possessed by an overwhelming torpor, he did her bidding like a dog.'

A intense, bizarre novella with bouts of vivid and hallucinatory imagery.

The gothic elements are very fun but the narrative does seem to jump around an skip ahead a little too much to be fully convincing.
