A very enjoyable modern ghost story. Some truly spooky moments. I am not interested in being haunted by a vengeful god any time soon. (Also, not a bad idea to consult the content warnings if you are sensitive to attempted SA.)

It isn't often a pick up a contemporary fantasy, and it's even less often I find one so truly enjoyable. Cho's prose has a natural unassuming quality that delivered like a blow to the gut- what a delicately executed tale of generational trauma.
