Kerry Cullen creates a vivid and visceral depiction of Harm OCD which weaves effortlessly through a story of a queer woman trying to cope and finding a series of more intense situations, when she finds her childhood best friend and a ghost who is perhaps more real than those alive around her.

The OCD representation is great. I loved the emphasis on friendship between women. Lot more literary fiction than horror, but it worked for me. A ghost story dripping with melancholy and longing.
