Also, the kid is creepy as hell, and Phil becomes a prisoner in his new life.
I suspected this book would be fire from the beginning, and I'm glad to say it exceeded expectations. It has a creepy child, eldritch beings, body horror (cw if you have a thing about teeth falling out), and such impressive, palpable tension packed into just 107 pages. Definitely will read more from this author.

what i didn't like: the casual first person narration. the unnecessary tasteless language (fortunately not overdone, but definitely could do without). the ending was also kind of ambiguous, not so much in an open-interpretation kind of way but more like there could have been more to it.
i think i'll still give kealan patrick burke's other works a try, he is highly rated and i have a few of his other writings on my tbr list.
