I've finished: Knock Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson

I'm not a big fan of horror.

I loved Knock Knock, Open Wide, mostly because the physical horror bits are few and far between.

Sharpson is mostly interested in how the horrific events traumatize the victims. We follow two timelines, two generations trying to live and love while a curse hangs over them.

Following their struggle, their failures and successes is what Knock Knock is about.

The thing that captured me was that at the core of this dysfunctional family are two couples that truly love each other. The proposal scenes just melted my heart. These scenes of mutual consent stand in stark contrast to the coercive powers that haunt them.
