A bleak winter, a corrosive inner life, and a friendship that curdles into violence. Eileen is a dark psychological novel where isolation, desire, and moral rot press inward, leaving no clean way out.

Eileen made The List for its suffocating psychological intimacy and refusal to soften its narrator's moral decay. The unease comes not from what happens, but crom being trapped inside a mind that cannot look away from its own darkness.
