I've never read a horror book that has drawn out so many different emotions!

From shouting OMG RUUUNNN at my phone, to laughing, and then crying 😭 

Such a great story 4.5⭐ 👏🏻👏🏻

Nat Cassidy is such an incredible writer! This was interesting the whole way through and absolutely one of the most unique books I’ve ever read. I didn’t find it scary but it did have some good gory moments that were really well written. The afterword is definitely worth reading. And the audiobook narrator absolutely blew me away!

challenging dark emotional sad tense

The fear and anxiety of the narrator and from the boy are portrayed really well. The super natural elements are used for symbolism of how fear can control a person, for better or for worse. Overall, I liked it and will read his other books in the future.
