The first paragraph in the first chapter had me pulled in. This book is playing on everyone’s childhood fears of something scary and monstrous lurking in the dark of our bedrooms at night. In this instance though, it’s reality. The Taste of Tiny Bones, dabbles in Folklore Horror and I am loving it. I can visualize myself experiencing these things in my own house and it’s bringing back all of the irrational childhood fears and giving life to them as an adult. “The Bogeyman is the only monster that your parents ever said was real.”. Belief can be used as a weapon against you, wielded by the creatures we conjure up. We can take back our power and create new belief systems that work against what we created. There’s power in belief and intentions. Use that power wisely.
