Does a masterful job of creating a gripping and unsettling atmosphere throughout, without anything you can really put your finger on. It conveys a sense of bleak foreboding, and of a middle aged sort of accepting loneliness, of futility.

It's hard to say “I enjoyed it” because it's bleak, and with no redemption. But it's real, evocative, and well written.
