I just couldn’t really move past it, usually I can stomach the more extreme things but something about the way these things were written made it a less enjoyable experience. I want to read the author’s other book and see if I enjoy it more, because she has talent! If you want to read this book PLEASE listen to the trigger warnings, even if you’re an enjoyer of the more extreme sides of horror.

The haunted house metaphor was very on the nose but I don't really care.
This made me absolutely cringe with fear and disgust before weeping with some sort of joy at the end. I don't think I could give this book less than five stars for inciting such visceral reactions, but definitely approach with caution.

The author spend too much time trying to show how clever and deep they were that the story just got lost in itself and fell off into rambling nonsense towards the end.
Some chapters are very good at creating frightening, atmospheric horror but overall this should have stayed as a creative writing project in someone's journal imo.
