"Brother" by Ania Ahlborn is a gripping and chilling tale that delves into the darkest corners of human nature and family dynamics. Ahlborn's writing is both evocative and atmospheric, pulling you into the eerie and oppressive world of the Morrows. 

What makes "Brother" truly stand out is Ahlborn's ability to blend psychological horror with emotional depth. The horror elements are intense and unsettling, but the story also explores themes of loyalty, guilt, and the struggle for redemption. It's a dark and haunting read. I thought it was fantastic.
