Was really cute and cozy, I enjoyed getting extra details. It was like a behind the scenes of one of my favorite comfort movies

I do think the movie is way better though. I know - how sacrilege!

A perfect cozy, spooky book to start the season with.

Maybe it was the cat, or the child’s perspective but this book really hit my heart in a special place. I may have even teared up at one point 👀🥹

This movie terrorized me as a child but I’m glad I gave it a second chance ❤️
