Fucking disturbing and I generally love dark themes but this one if truly the peak darkness. It's a very interesting read and it's definitely gonna haunt you after you're done reading. I can't believe y'all read this when you were kids!!!???? I'm deeply disturbed as an adult, I can't even imagine how this would've affected me when I was a kid.

Read this when I was 12; loved it. Read it again as an adult and holy f*%# is it ever disturbing. Definitely gothic, not really horror, just disturbing.
