Lots of TWs listed above, so not suited for every reader, but perfect for grittier horror fans who can stand lots of blood/gore and heavy themes

It started strong and then floundered until the end. There were several points where I wanted to give up, but I persisted only because I hoped that the end would somehow tie everything together and make sense of the confusing, meandering plot. 

It did not.

I don’t exactly know what I just read? And I didn’t understand the ending but I enjoyed the ride and the slasher references and essay read alouds were really cool
