By the end, I really loved the production on this one. It took a story that could be real challenging to present effectively due to the time and space jumps and clearly defined the transitions. Also, what was being provided to us during those transitions was largely mood and atmosphere (which the production reinforced), so the exact content was less relevant.
As to the gender of the protagonist, I think it's deliberately vague to allow the reader to connect. There's some gay one way or another, whether it's the step brother or the girl friend. I'm cool with Ben reading all stories tangential to Lovecraft.
I thought the story was well crafted and the mood it created was wrenching. Now, checking back and seeing this is the same author as Final Girl Theory, I know I have to seek out more of this author's work. A. C. Wise pushes all the right buttons for me.
