The Last House on Needless Street

I will give credit to the author for a very complex plot; however, I can't say I really enjoyed this book. This is a long confusing book in which the main characters are all suffering with mental disorders of one type or another. Due to this, the character narrations and time flow can never be trusted. Through these narrations plot points are doled out in confusing dribs and drabs and it is not until almost the very ending that the true story is revealed. Though many consider this book to be part of the horror genre, and while it at first has the feeling of horror, the book deals mainly with child abuse that occurs every day in the real world and the often unforeseen and lasting consequences from such trauma. I would say that the book falls more within the mystery genre and has absolutely nothing to do with supernatural horror.
