This novel is mostly made up of philosophical musings written in the form of monologues that are long, drawn-out, go on for many paragraphs, and that are sometimes interrupted by the actual story. Honestly, it seems more like a scientific paper writt ...more

2.5 ⭐️ There’s a clear emotional/tonal dissonance in how the setting of Beldame Alabama is portrayed. On one hand, it’s this grievously terrible, haunted thing and on the other, it’s the most lovely place in the world and why wouldn’t anyone want to ...more
