The themes explored in this book, such as family, generational trauma, colonialism, are interesting in the context of a hungry, haunted house. But the author's style was not to my taste. It seemed fussy and overly complex, very twisty without much payout. It was hard to focus and I found myself skimming without missing very much. Still, it was weird and gross and unique.
Graphic: Body horror, Toxic relationship, and Colonisation
Moderate: Racial slurs, Blood, Death of parent, Fire/Fire injury, Gaslighting, Abandonment, and Injury/Injury detail
