Carregando... The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red (2001)de Ridley Pearson
   Books Read in 2002 (19) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.  Doodlebug34 | Jan 1, 2024 |   This one tried to be feminist but it failed to do so for a few reasons. Because it was based on a tv show that already had problems, and because it tried to mimic the writing styles of other authors (Steven King and du Maurier come to mind) and, because it's racist, fatphobic (hey like S.King is, following tradition!) and all around gratuitous while trying to emulate both books like Hell House and Rebecca. I'd much prefer it if it actually was the feminist prequel it's pretending to be, because it was actually fun to read!

At the turn of the twentieth century, Ellen Rimbauer, the young bride of Seattle industrialist John Rimbauer, began keeping a remarkable diary. This diary became the secret place where Ellen could confess her anxieties about her new marriage, express her confusion over her emerging sexuality, and contemplate the nightmare that her life was becoming. The diary not only follows the development of a girl into womanhood, it follows the construction of the Rimbauer mansion - called Rose Red - an enormous home that would be the site of so many horrific and inexplicable tragedies in the year ahead. The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red is a rare document, one that gives us an unusual view of daily life among the aristocracy in the early 1900s, a window into one woman's hidden emotional torment, and a record of the mysterious events at Rose Red that scandalised society at the time. Edited by Joyce Reardon, Ph.D., as part of her research, the diary is being published as preparations are being made by Dr Reardon to enter Rose Red and fully investigate its disturbing history.

This book was written as a movie tie-in, intended to serve as a prequel and Blair Witch style marketing hype. It refers to supplemental materials on a now-defunct website for the fake university that the fake author supposedly taught at. I suppose this is one of the downsides to the multimedia book idea that I enjoyed with Night Film. The book is forever, but the online supplementals are transient and render the book itself forever incomplete.
On a side note: I see that I originally rated this book 4 stars when I read it eleven years ago. Funny how our tastes and judgement change over time.
