The Library at Mount Char

WTF even did I just read? This is a super dark, but also super compelling and above all, super WEIRD read. I wasn't sure at first I was going to be able to stick with it because of the animal stuff (I really can't handle animal deaths in fiction very well), but I'm glad I did. It's unlike anything I've ever read.

Also, small gripe, but was anyone else bothered by the seeming continuity error toward the end? The beginning makes references to the 80s–80s cars in the garages, Wham and B-52s posters on the walls, legwarmers, Carolyn is only in her early 30s now, but was 8 on Adpotion Day–but then at the end he makes repeated references to Adoption Day being 1977. An error in the first printing only, perhaps?
