Dr. Edith Vane, scholar of English literature, is contentedly ensconced at the University of Inivea. Her dissertation on pioneer housewife memoirist Beulah Crump-Withers is about to be published, and her job's finally safe, if she only can fill out her AAO properly. She's a little anxious, but a new floral blouse and her therapist's repeated assurance that she is the architect of her own life should fix that. All should be well, really. Except for her broken washing machine, her fickle new girlfriend, her missing friend Coral, her backstabbing fellow professors, a cutthroat new dean - and the fact that the sentient and malevolent Crawley Hall has decided it wants them all out, and the hall and its hellish hares will stop at nothing to get rid of them.

Suzette Mayr’s comic-horror campus novel is both completely over the top and intimately grounded in the reality of current academia. The uninitiated may think that everything here is horrific. But for anyone with a smattering of experience of university life and work, virtually all of the craziness of Edith’s life (with the exception of the rampant hares and possessed building, I suppose) is just exactly what life and work is like at a small to mid-size university. Realism. Gritty realism. Which is about as horrific as anything you can dream up. So much so that the eerier aspects of Mayr’s story barely register as uncanny.
A very enjoyable though unsettling read. But a bit disheartening if you’ve been through the grind that Edith is faced with yourself.
Gently recommended. ( )
