Super quick read that's loads of fun - a pure slasher from SGJ that dips into the supernatural only briefly before twisting your head around backwards with the truth. Reading this after Chainsaw, it's a clear sibling in the best way. SGJ talks about how he is forever pulled to the slasher genre and you can see in the writing he is certainly deeper in conversation with it than other attempts. 
Good heartbreaking slasher. 👍👍
