The text itself is a work of art of the highest order, but this is one of the weakest Norton Criticals--very thin, light on interpretive essays and contextual materials, but including a relatively large proportion of items about the narrative in theatre & cinema--which has some intrinsic interest as...
I really liked this. Though it was hard to understand at first due to the peculiar writing style, the story itself was interesting and very ... creepy.
