Would recommend if you want something fast paced, short, very detailed and gruesome.

I loved this book and then I read the afterword and I loved it even more. worked well because it was a simple concept carried out in a wonderfully creepy way. touched on how easy it is to be traumatised by what you see online. possession as a metaphor

✨🌠 my about / byf / CW info carrd: uchiha-madara 🌠✨

What I expected. Reddit nosleep creepypasta levels of writing exploiting a suicidal man's death, with all the gimmicks and tropes well retread, written mainly to say 'first!' when it comes to a horror story about this dead man.

What I got. A delve into midwestern small town early 90s 00s depression fueled ableism towards mental illness and toxic masculinity, bootstrap mentality, and oh yeah, suicide horror. IS that a genre, suicide horror? I guess it'd fall under paranormal. Ringu was suicide horror, to a degree, innit desu? Let's call it suicide horror, a sub sub sub to the etc degree genre of paranormal horror.

Anyways, yeah it deserves the 4 star rating [as of writing this]. It's creepy, horrific, graphic, there's depth to it so you're thinking about it long after finishing, and it hits all the neat horror tropes but in a well done way. If you can handle suicide and child death, give it a go.
