I really enjoyed the writing in this extremely short horror novel. I found myself actually laughing out loud at some of the characters and then turning the page and being disgusted and horrified at what one of them felt she had to do. I do feel that this would have benefited from being longer, as there were some ideas that were left unexplored and some endings left to the imagination that I would have enjoyed seeing on page.

This is a very weird book. But it isn't weird just to be weird. It's characters are all psychologically damaged, each dealing with that damage manifested as or caused by ghosts or beasts. It is dark and devastating, causing the reader to question how they would deal with the death of a family member, or the monstrous rebirth of them. It is bloody, and unsettling. Mostly, it's just plain awesome, dark, and strangely beautiful.

What did I just read ?!?!?!?!?!???
Synopsis: Its about three main characters: One lost her mother and sees her ghost and is love with her best friend. The best friend has her mother as a monster tied and locked in the basement. A man who walks his dog and sees a headless ghost.
The book starts off as three different stories but they do meet at different intersecting points a couple of times in the book and ultimately meshes together. It's marked as a horror book but there is nothing scary about it. It was eerie and dark in some places. Mainly it's characters are all psychologically damaged and stricken with grief with some supernatural elements like monster/zombie that needs live things as food. The story just didn't make sense to me. It's such a short book I thought it'll be a quick read but it was just so boring that I should've dnf'd it. The only reason I finished it is because it's only 168 pages long.

I loved this book and the characters. I thought it was beautifully written, I couldn’t put it down. However, the thing that really destroyed this for me was the dog dying. I know they got their happy ending but I just really hated it and I felt it was unnecessary in my opinion it made me just want to put the book down.

Weird, wild, and wonderful! This bizarre little morsel satisfies that taste for the surreal... and the ending is just too heart-warming for words :')
