I’ve always had a soft spot for Ira Levin and saw this book on a list when I was looking for something to fill the terror in a small town square.

I really enjoyed this one and how casually creepy it was. The author was a master at weaving a story, which meant I was never bored, and the book raised many problems that I've struggled with myself: how defenceless I can be against physical strength, how there are times when nobody believes me/care...
