Very much enjoyed this. Although it felt a but wordy and flowery at parts, overall it was a tight, fast paced little cosmic horror.

I loved this book.
You follow Phil, a man who has never wanted children, who suddenly finds himself a single father with a child he's never seen before in his life. Not only that, everyone around him keeps telling him how he's always had this child and has raised them since the day they were born.
This is a quick read, but is packs a pretty good sized punch. It does very good at building worry and dread. It also had one of my fav scenes I've read in a long time...
"Goodnight, Daddy."
"Goodnight, son."
If you know, then you know.
