Laura’s thoughts on writing, culture, and the supernatural
Laura’s Favourite Book #2: Brighton Rock
Brighton Rock is intense to say the least. It may be a classic race against time thriller, but it’s also a strange, heady mix of poverty-sticken provincialism and the potential damnation of one’s eternal soul.
Laura’s Favourite Book #1: Rebecca
Why is Rebecca one of my favourite books? Well, the big twist holds up every time I read it, the protagonist’s anxieties become mine, and the atmosphere at Manderley is a heady mix of claustrophobia and lushness.
