Such a dark and strange tale, where what you think you know has little to no bearing on reality. I'm not a big novella reader, as I tend to prefer more character development than what can often be found in them - simply due to space constraints. However, this one had no such difficulties - in part, I think, due to the fact that so much of the past of these two individuals is shrouded. Until it isn't, leaving the reader with more questions and a faint feeling of disquiet that lingered for a few days.
