It feels like there were the beginnings of using possession as commentary on inherited mental illness and cycles of violence, and people's ability/inability to break them, but it just doesn't go all the way with it. It falls flat with no resolution to those themes.
If you have certain content sensitivities, do not read this book without checking out a list of content warnings. Some things are extremely graphic (almost to the point of gratuity)
Graphic: Car accident, Child death, Animal death, Gaslighting, Murder, and Death of parent
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts, Vomit, Torture, and Animal cruelty
Minor: Religious bigotry, Classism, and Forced institutionalization
