Be very mindful of the content warnings but seriously one of the best horror novels I've ever read. The writing is incredible and the concept is so well executed.

I might have to read again. It was great and confusing at the same time. Writing is chef’s kiss.

A harrowing yet exquisitely written read exploring the deepest, darkest intricacies of the rise of fascism in Britain through a horror lens. I can't wait to see what Rumfitt writes next.
