Incidents Around the House

This was a quick and really creepy read. The whole 'Other Mommy' entity really got my skin crawling but I also had some issues with it.

As it's told from Bela's POV, it does get a bit repetitive and samey around the middle.

Also, Ursula (aka real mother) is possibly one of the most unlikeable characters, hearing her constant anger, whining and pity party was nearly unbearable.

I like Josh Malerman's short stories, and I feel like this one could have worked as a novella rather than a full length novel.
