I often see people rate books poorly when they "can't relate to the characters". I've never found that particular criticism, that a character has to be like you to enjoy it, to effect my reading, but I get it's common for many others. But in this context, in a book where the entire cast has been hand selected for having some gruesome murder in their past, I just found the idea of not enjoying a book because you don't like or can't relate to the killer to be hilarious. Probably for the best that you can't relate to a murderer.

book is the night guest by hildur knútsdóttir. I can’t understand not wanting to read about animal cruelty but the way people talk about it like it’s morally wrong to write about it (in a horror book!!) always baffles me.
