In the House in the Dark of the Woods

The first half of this book I understood. A woman gets lost in some magical woods and stays at a woman's house. I thought initially it was like an “Into the Woods” type of deal perhaps without the fairy tale vibe. But the more I read into this book, the more I got lost. Soon there's this whole surreal world that somehow extends into the real world but it's still The Wood.

Even though I was lost, I had a great time. It was the first ever horror book I read and it was good. It genuinely creeped me out and had a really scary feel to all of it. The way it's written has this slowish feeling but in a good way. As the book creeps on, the creepier it gets.

Yes, the book didn't make sense but it was enjoyable.
