    Welcome to the Biller-verse.

As a fan of Anna Biller's storytelling I was very keen to consume her latest offering. I was nervous going in because I had high expectations. Bluebeard's Castle is a banger. Women traverse this world assessing a slew of obstacles designed to keep us anxious to what and who surrounds us. The story of Judith, as fanciful as it is, reminds us that our sex determines how we navigate such obstacles. This gothic romance horror has it all and it's very clever and truthful. It gets ugly and it's confronting. It's also rich with descriptive passages that make it an absolute treat for those who enjoy Ms Biller's films.You may recognize yourself in Judith. I did and that was scary.  Oh and there are some delightful comedic moments. I can't wait for a film version.

I feel like I just read a draft of a novel. Or like I just spent five hours listening to somebody tell me in painstaking detail about a movie that I haven't seen. And maybe I initially wanted to see the movie, but now I absolutely don't because, for the love of gawd, can this please just be over now? This is a shame because I really had been excited to read a feminist retelling of the Bluebeard tale type. Sadly, Bluebeard's Castle isn't that. It isn't that at all.Here's a quick run-down of my major grievances:1. The character growth is almost imperceptible. Since they're all caricatures to begin with, this might be excusable if the writing were more engaging, the plot better developed, and the dialogue more frequent and less stilted. Alas, alas, alas.2. Far too much time was spent describing the scenery and costuming rather than the interactions between characters. No doubt this is part of why it felt like somebody was telling me about a movie they'd watched rather than actually telling me a story. Funny thing about reading a book—I actually wanted a story.3. Straight-up telling the reader to make a connection between what they're reading and a classic gothic novel—which the author does repeatedly—is not the same thing as making a literary allusion. It shows a lack of trust in your audience and is incredibly condescending. Ditto for sermonizing at the end of the book.So, I clearly didn't like this book. It didn't read as 'camp' for me, nor did it read as feminist, or subversive, or erotic. Maybe if it had been one of those things I could have enjoyed it. Honestly, the only reason I read it through to the end was to determine whether to give it one star or two. It earned two only because the writing, character growth, and plot development weren't good enough to make any of my thematic complaints (which I didn't even get into here....you're welcome) truly objectionable.If you're looking for good gothic horror, keep looking.
