The cover of this book pulled me in 100%. I wish I could say that I enjoyed the story the same. This is a quick read of 128 pages, and there were times when reading that I had high hopes for some literary scares, but ultimately, the story fell flat. For me, reading this story was like reading a movie tie-in novel to a horror film. As a movie, this story would definitely have some scares but the development of the characters left much to be desired. Khaw's writing is beautiful though. There are many passages that are lyrical and eloquent.

I should stop getting book recommendations from random TikToks.
Absolutely loved this poetic prose horror novella. This author uses figurative language to its horrifying peak to convey a horrendous event with friends gone wrong.
If a spoken word poet performed a scary story- this is what it would be like.
