Sad to report I thought this was bad. I like Shiveley's online horror stuff, but it turns out it can't support a novel length word. This read as HOUSE OF LEAVES x THE YELLOW SIGN, but written by a 15 year old writing their first r/nosleep post.

I really wanted to like this, but the characterisation was shallow, and the writing flat. I ended up finding it dull.
