Has anybody read this. The reviews on amazon are are pretty good but the subject seems disturbing. One reviewer said he felt like throwing up when he finish. Sounds a bit strong. Would this be horror or something else.

I haven't read this one but it is described as a "contemporary gothic horror story".  I don't have this one on my wishlist but I would be open to trying it sometime if it was available or I came across it.

Looks like it has been reprinted from the 80's.
