This was definitely was definitely the weirdest book I've ever read but I am a big fan of weird and I quickly ate this up. A beautifully written story about grief and family. Towards the end it gave me Jeff Dahmer vibes, I'm a big fan of serial killer things! My first time reading literary horror and I was surprised for sure, looking to read more from this author and genre. For those who are easily spooked or you're not sure, I would give this 2-3/5 on scare scale, depending how sensitive you are and it's not until the end for the most part. Also some spicy scenes 3/5. Overall this was a great read & would recommend.
