A reflective, slow burn, atmospheric eco horror novella. The prose is poetic and the narration feels a lot like a collection of essays on grief and different aspects of it - grief over the lose of a parent, grief over a loss of cultural memory, heritage and community, grief over climate catastrophe. It depicts that heaviness of helplessness and depression, and lack of drive and purpose.

A powerfully ingenious and descriptive horror novel. The writing is gorgeous and stunning, so vivid in the imagination while being incredibly fluid. 
Tiffany Morris is a voice I hope we hear more of in horror, this short novella had me on the edge of my seat, anxiously turning page after page just to find what lush description I will find next, what horror will unfold in front of my eyes.
