Haunting and delightfully melancholic. This is one was a slow burn for sure, specifically the middle portions, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The writing was a MasterClass in vivid imagery, memory, and grief.
Graphic: Body horror
Moderate: Confinement, Death, Death of parent, and Panic attacks/disorders
Minor: Cursing
