Just started this. So far I'm digging the back and forth of the chapters.

Previously I got this book and The Graveyard Apartment by Mariko Koike at the same time from the library... they seemed like similar stories so I returned this one. It will be interesting to see if, in fact, they are similar.
this book.. the inconsistent flip-flopping of POV was disorienting. it took me about half way through the book to realize that this was probably on purpose because what is happening to this couple is so bizarre and disorienting for them. Over all I enjoyed this book!
(Okay, this is my first attempt at doing the book club so let me know if i do this wrong.)I really liked this. I enjoyed how the house was rarely (if ever) actively doing things. That they would stumble upon terrifying shit that was passively happening
(mild spoiler)
when the husband opened up the wall and saw a room filled with old photos of him and his wife was the creepiest part for me.
I just finished the audiobook, and the wife’s chapters were narrated by a woman while the husbands were narrated by a man, so I missed the disorientation. I sort of wish I’d had that experience! I thought this book was real creepy!
