Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

The Parasite ★★★☆☆

The Parasite -  Arthur Conan Doyle

The writing is atmospheric and descriptive enough to make this short horror story entertaining, but I might have strained my eyeballs by rolling them so hard through this story of an honorable man whose life and reputation is ruined by the spiteful woman he rejected. Give an ugly woman a little bit of power, and naturally the first thing she does is try to control a man's mind and body, first for love, then for hate. *rolls eyes again*
