Definitely. For whatever reason, all I need these days is plot and great writing even if it is dark so I was all right with it.

They were very different books. This had the supernatural and was much longer and more detailed. Whitehead’s novel followed the main characters for at least a decade (I think) after their time there. Reformatory is right in the moment and so more intense.

I need to wait until I am in the right frame of mind to read such a horrifying story, though!

Did you like this one better? The cover screams spooky horror.
