FOR RENT- Top two floors of beautifully renovated brownstone, 1300 sq. ft., 2BR 2BA, eat-in kitchen, one block to parks and playgrounds. No broker's fee. Susan and Alex Wendt have found their dream apartment. Sure, the landlady is a little eccentric. And the elderly handyman drops some cryptic remarks about the basement. But the rent is so low, it's too good to pass up. Big mistake. Susan soon discovers that her new home is crawling with bedbugs . . . or is it? She awakens every morning with fresh bites, but neither Alex nor their daughter Emma has a single welt. An exterminator searches the property and turns up nothing. The landlady insists her building is clean. Susan fears she's going mad-until a more sinister explanation presents itself- she may literally be confronting the bedbug problem from Hell.… (mere)

Enjoyably Good ( )
  saltyessentials | Dec 23, 2023 |
I think this book has received an unjust amount of bad reviews, yes it's a bit trashy and yes when you realise what the 'ping' is it is a bit nonsensical and overly gory considering the ring could have been taken off rather than cutting off a finger but hey, it's a horror story. It's supposed to be a bit trashy, right?

I did enjoy the 'mad old lady serial killer' thing and the pseudo detective work that Susan undertakes but I feel more could have been done in terms of ramping up the intrigue and mystery with the basement.

All in all, I thought the book was great. ( )

This is basically a ghost story, except with bedbugs. Young family moves in new place with weird landlord; the mother begins to suspect something is very wrong, something only she can perceive. Set in Brooklyn, it capitalizes on the worst fear of the privileged; there is even an exterminator to the stars. The over-the-top tone worked for this short novel, which echoed the tropes and the hint of shlock of some of my favorite 1970s horror stories. ( )

fast read

a good fast read. not a literary masterpiece but engaging. i'd recommend it for travel if you like psychological thrillers. ( )

This book was unsettling and gripping from start to finish. The title itself plays a crucial role in your experience of the novel, especially the first 100 pages or so as the anticipation builds of what the title makes inevitable. The characters felt like real people, the situation like a real situation. You're never quite sure what is going on until the last pages.

I read this book in a day, pretty much. And not a Saturday either. A weekday that involved a full day of work. It was a quick read purely because it was so incredibly engrossing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone! Except maybe those who have direct personal and traumatic experience with bedbugs... ( )
