There is so much left unsaid in this novel that your mind is left to fill in the blanks. I've been turning it over and over in my brain since I finished it a couple of days ago and keep seeing different scenarios. There are some incredibly dark implications but nothing explicit. I think if you like horror novels this is probably a little too tame, but I don't think that makes it any less enjoyable as it leaves you with space to imagine the darkest possibilities should you wish to do so.
