I doubt Robert Marasco intended for my next point, but I felt somewhat of a feminist theme regarding Marian's decisions throughout the novel. It was very interesting that some of the key issues causing the family to seek refuge away from the city are very prevalent today (high prices, overcrowding, etc).
Has Robert Marasco ever done any interviews about his book to discuss it further?. What are Roz, Brother, and Walker? They sort of reminded me of the ghouls in Peter Straub's Ghost Story. We eventually find that Marian starts eating it, but early on, is mother actually eating anything/leaving her "room" or has it always been Marian (and she just doesn't realize she's consciously doing it until later in the book)? Sometimes it seems that "mother" eats the food that Marian brings her. For those who have read Burnt Offerings, I was curious to hear your thoughts about the following: I also saw some influences on his TV miniseries Rose Red, which I LOVED watching way back in the early 2000s. I had read that this book was a big influence on Stephen King's The Shining, and I could definitely see that. I very much enjoyed it, but had a few questions and thoughts. Hello all, I just finished Burnt Offerings by Robert Marasco.
