I will admit right now that I don't love possession stories, mainly because I believe they often waft into clear views of "Good vs Evil, but the Church always wins" (aka: They are sometimes too Church Propoganda-y for me.) I'll secondly admit that I've seen more possession stories than I have read, so I am open to others that go in a different direction. "Karen" also provided us another view to the story, so there were multiple angles to consider throughout the novel. Bringing it more into the modern was the added layer of the reality show, which gave us yet another level from which we could view of the situation as well as its exacerbating factors. I appreciated that this was a modern day possession focused story but what I think I appreciated the most about it is how little Tremblay tried to convince the reader that Marjorie was truly possessed by a demon instead of possibly being truly sick. On one hand, I found the story of a family in crisis well written and interesting. Whole lotta spoilers below, they will be mostly tagged (except my final paragraphs) but if you are on mobile, the spoiler tags may or may not work - IDK why Reddit sometimes does that.Īnyway, I'm not sure how to feel after having read this.
