Mormegil@bookwyrm.social reviewed That Hideous Strength by C. S. Lewis
C.S. Lewis does horror in the best way
4 stars
This felt like a nightmare at certain times. Very trippy, and the spirit of NICE is still very much alive today. Abolition of Man is a great companion to this, since Hideous Strength is built on the ideas from that essay/lecture. I can understand why people would get stuck with this, but as a lover of C.S. Lewis who enjoys digging into hard reading (most of the time), I really loved this. He called it a fairy tale for adults and I really felt like a kid listening to a tale.
