Wheeww. While I don't typically read a lot of horror, this contemporary haunted House novel was an exception to that rule and well worth it. Dark (very, very dark), smart (very, very smart), sharp (very, very sharp). It's probably best to go into this with as little knowledge about the story as possible to maintain the author's tension, sensitive readers will absolutely want to look up content warnings. Featuring a queer nonbinary autistic Black protagonist living with diabetes, which was really unique rep and perspective in the genre.
Did I mention this is very, very dark?
