I gave it 2 stars not because it’s bad but because it’s such a dark horror story that creeped me out and made me uncomfortable.

I don’t even know what to say about this book. Someone recommended it as a super disturbing book and I thought why not. Was it disturbing? Yes. Did it make me not want to read it? No. Honestly I’ve read worse, but I really enjoyed how the parallels came into fruition. Major trigger warnings though for anyone reading this.

This is a really effed up novella, and there are literally TW saturated on every page. Not for faint-hearted. You've got to have a very strong stomach to be able to read this.
