I really liked this story and the horror was on point. The writing style wasn't for me though. There were times I needed more to understand what was happening and the narration would jump past it. I understand this was done for a reason, and in some cases it worked great, but in others I struggled.

dark

3.0

I liked the idea and the conversations in it, but it felt like so much of the (short) book was conversation about the world and it's metaphors etc and not enough plot (for me)
