This being my first horror read… I’m not sure if I have the stomach for it. You could say I’m devastated, in a good way? Is this how one is supposed to feel after reading a book in this genre? It was a great story, I was certainly invested in the characters, a truly broken family.

acalla7's review against another edition

I NEVER back out of a book because I can’t handle it, but chapter 3 was just too much… I don’t want to know what the rest of this book has in store after that. I’m good on this one.
