What people said
Paul TremblayAmerican horror novelist, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World
Tremblay leaned toward a realistic reading of the ending in which events largely happened but are distorted by Winifred's narration.
“You know, most of the stuff happened, but it's being refracted through Winnie and go towards more realistic interpretation”

Tremblay said that on a second reading he noticed the green dress given to Winifred was likely poisonous and could be affecting her mind.
“And the green dress she gave her that was probably poison. I missed that on the first read somehow”

Tremblay argued that readers misremember Victorian Psycho as a story in which Winifred kills only bad people, when she kills indiscriminately.
“have, like, false memories of this book because they want to root for her and they assume, oh, no, she's only killing bad people”

Ash KelleyCo-host of the true crime podcast Morbid
Kelley argued that Drusilla did not participate in the final massacre and was probably chained up, with Winifred inventing her complicity.
“I think she was chained up for the whole thing. And I think Winnie just didn't want to be in it alone, maybe”
