I think it might be! The cause is very simple to discover, my dear Watsons. I finished my senior paper on Tuesday, decorated the manilla folder Wednesday (now I insanely regret not taking a picture of it... it was a work of art, that) and handed it in Friday. It's like a giant burden was slowly released from my shoulders during the course of this week, and after the paper forced me to write on a deadline, inspiration has finally struck again!

Review: "The Little Stranger" by Sarah Waters
Overview
In the small town, a local doctor, Dr. Faraday, happens to go out to old Hundreds Hall one day to treat the one and only servant there. Hundreds is the home of the once-noble and well off family the Ayres. However, since the war began, their luck seems to have run out - now it's only mother, daughter, son, and the one servant in the lonely setting.
The son, Roderick, had been in the war himself and now has a nasty limp and a scruffy temperament. The daughter Caroline is becoming an eccentric spinster, while the aging Mrs. Ayres has to move on from the luxurious past into the dismal future.
Dr. Faraday soon becomes a regular visitor to the decomposing hall and its sad occupants. However, something more threatening seems to be at work in the dark and silent rooms...
