- Author name: Ottessa Moshfegh

A
literary thriller, Ottessa Moshfegh’s “Eileen” is darkly comedic in the same
vein as much of Shirley Jackson’s work. It follows the titular character
Eileen, a deeply disturbed secretary at a boy’s prison, who spends her days
caring for her alcoholic father. When a new counselor, Rebecca Saint John,
shows up at the prison, a fiery passion is unearthed in Elieen, a passion that
eventually leads to a grisly crime.
