Why I love ghost stories is that they delve into the subconscious and how we deal with trauma. A good ghost story deals with the secrets of them who are involved. It’s what made the “reformatory” great, the trauma hidden in the historical record. “The Grip Of It” deals with marital trauma in our modern age. They want a new life and buying a house, moving to the suburbs will be their escape.

The way that each of us shapes the others reality is important in the expression of this book. James, the husband, is shaped by Julie, who are both shaped by Rolf!

Trick of the trade: I love the use of dialogue breaking into 1st person.
The author uses 1sr person narrative to force a pov. This pov is limited because you only see what the narrator sees. It’s far more moving when the pov is limited and the anxiety of the scene is amped. You can’t see outside the box you reading in.
But then the dialogue allows her to have both pov at the same time!
