Look at trigger/content warnings beforehand! Nothing too too graphic but def could be hard to read.
Would def check out more from the author.

Entwining religion and horror is not new by any means, but done to great effect here. Everything is scarier through Rose's eyes, because she's sheltered. And we're so used to denial of the protagonist's experiences as a trope of horror that "you didn't see anything weird" seems normal, "I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this" isn't out of the ordinary, but it ratchets up seamlessly and quickly for Rose in a way anyone familiar with high-control religion would recognize immediately.
I want everyone to read this. I also want to cry for the next six months. And I couldn't have asked for a better ending.
