i really enjoyed this! a super original concept, a dark fairy tale vibe, and lots of scary moments. i didn’t love the ending, i think it was kind of rushed. but there were enough good parts to balance that out. really glad i checked this one out!

One of the most impressive horror novels I have read. Once you get past the initial premise you will be hooked. This novel is a slow burn, a constant grinding malice until the brutal climax unfolds. Not for everyone. It is a dark and unrelenting journey and there is no light at the end of this tunnel. However as a sheer visceral experience it is startling

A dark and bleak burn of a book that takes it's time to get to the true horror of it's premise, but refuses to let go once everything goes off the rails.
