I loved how each piece of the story started somewhere new and uncertain, building on this extensive horror of visions, darkness, and doors. If you love the occult, this is an excellent long read.

Hard to know where to start with this one… it’s more like a 4.5 rating. It’s an intense read, with unimaginable cruelty- imagined. Politics and cults aside… this is a story about generational trauma and how we often hurt the ones we love while trying to protect them from the pain we know. Lots left to unpack.
