✨🌠 my about / byf / CW info carrd: uchiha-madara 🌠✨

Weird and creepy story about grief. Well written, interesting, the supernatural portion wasn't goofy and I appreciate that it didn't go fully scooby doo. I thought it handled the heavy subject matter fairly well. 

It's an incredibly white book. Zero diversity. Which like I'm not exactly demanding because useless authors shoehorning useless sidekicks of color or black sidekicks to white main characters is the LAST thing I want to read.

First and fair warning, I would definitely look at the trigger warnings for this one.  Here are the main ones I noted: Suicide, Suicidal thoughts, self harm, child death.  

My eyes didn't stay dry for long while reading this book. Chris's pain of losing her son is so palpable.  And so is her love for him.  This is a fantastic, horrifying novella.  The writing is excellent, and the story instantly sucked me in.  I couldn't stop reading.
