This short horror book brings so much punch in such few pages!
It took a bit at the beginning to get used to the writing style. The author writes the book in the 1st person perspective of 5 year old Mella. So of course, the writing is the inner dialog of 5 year old obsessed with Spiderman.
But man, the second half of the book has you clutching your pearls, hoping the best for adorable Mella.
Definitely a recommendation from me for other avid horror readers!
