I can recognize that this book had all the elements of a horror book that I might typically enjoy. The pursuit of science that goes horribly wrong, the whodunnit element and uncertainty at who amongst you has become a monster with no way to tell, the slow turning on each other as you attempt to convince yourself you’re still human. I think though where this misses the mark for me is that in its brevity and language (causes it was written so long ago) it fails to tell me enough to really set up the scenes and suspense and it often gets stuck in more jargon related to the science instead of setting up atmosphere and suspense. I can see why it worked well as a movie but ultimately not for me . 2/5
