Truly spins the haunted house genre entirely on it's head. With a creeping sense of anxiety that ramps up to pure panic, this mind-bending novel has shook me in ways I never knew I was afraid of.
My mom said books like this have "chapters like popcorn" , so exciting and short, that just reading one is never enough. "It's only a few more pages, I can read another". It was absolutely a blast to read, not just in substance, but also format.
The easter eggs of morse code, the reddit posts, scripts, etc. all made the experience that much richer. And those things only added to the fear.
I love queer people being the focus, and the unique angle on the genre made this book a quick and easy favorite. The ending had me hoping for just a bit more, which is the only downfall. Loved every minute
