The Vile Thing We Created by Robert P. Ottone
4.25
dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Good suspense. Engages lightly  with themes like societal pressure for parenthood/motherhood, generational cycles, and struggling between being a parent and being your own person.  Overall is focused on a narrative about supernatural horrors. Scares aren’t over-described so the tension doesn’t get lost. Fun and engaging!
