What in the name of everything did I just read.
It was fun, don't get me wrong! An interesting take on the haunted house trope, reminded me of AHS Murder House, Hill House, Bly Manor, those sort of stories. Funny in a dark humour kind of way, and the writing style shows that it's deliberately done rather than just cheesy. Not a single page or plot twist went where I thought it was going to go.

This was a quick little haunted house book. It takes a little too long to get started, I noticed a few annoying typos, and the Damien character did not work for me but overall I had fun.
Moderate: Drug use, Emotional abuse, Injury/Injury detail, Ableism, Blood, Body horror, Death, Gore, Gun violence, Medical content, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Suicide, and Violence
Minor: Cultural appropriation, Body shaming, Child death, and Confinement
