As the book is so short, it was difficult to get to know or really care about Parker & some of his decisions were strange. Parker's naiveite & youthful enthusiasm lead him astray & disaster is only narrowly averted initially. I can't imagine being that gullible to be honest. The writing style was okay but I think a slightly longer book may have fleshed out the characters more & given the reader more time to actually connect with the main character. It was a gripping read but can't say I actually enjoyed reading it due to some of the subject matter (trigger warnings below). 2.5 stars (rounded down).
TWs: suicide, sexual assault, animal cruelty/death, coarse language.

I think if I thought more about the implications of the entity and the story’s ending itself, I might have some more complicated feelings about the story and its discussion of mental illness, but I think the author did his best to approach mental illness and psychiatric wards with an empathetic eye and in the end,
Fun for what it was! Definitely unsettling, definitely creepy, certainly earns its title of horror. I went into this expecting absolutely nothing and was pleasantly surprised.
