Rest and Be Thankful

Literary horror novella following Laura, a paediatric nurse whose personal relationship is struggling, has nightmares of drowning and starts to see a strange figure in her real life.  I liked this book ! The story I light on plot and character arc but I think the author did a great job with setting up a horror almost gothic atmosphere. The writing was singular, with a mixture of short and long sentences without periods or semi colons, sometimes repetitive and full of metaphors. It created a sense of being in a fever dream, a dizzy feel to it that mirrored Laura's deteriorating mental state.  I feel the pacing was a bit off, with the ending a bit too abrupt and abstract.  I will definitely check out her other book since I heard good things about it from other readers I follow.
