It's clear from the conclusion of chapter one that this is going to be a disturbing novel at times but it's hard to believe it was written before reality TV and modern day surveillance concerns really took hold. Enjoyed the nods / mockery of gothic conventions the book relies on at times; the editorial thoughts from Kay, herself similar to a modern day Jonathon Harker from Dracula at times in both character and circumstance. The Oedipus references are a bit forced and ridiculous at the conclusion, and the general coincidence of the circumstances had to be overlooked, but a thrilling, suspense-filled and provocative read, and readable in a couple sittings!
