It was interesting reading this after Mister Magic and seeing the through-lines between them. This feels like a messier attempt at the themes that Mister Magic explores, but the premise and characters here are incredibly strong.

I loved this book! Very spooky, not too gory, and perfect amount of tension. I didn't realize it was a sort of folk horror book until about halfway through, but I was pleasantly surprised (that's my fave horror genre!).

I Hated all the characters, they didn't have any personality except for the stereotypes.
None of the characters had any chemistry with eachother.
The ending sucked.
