A read for the queer who needs the reminder that there is nothing wrong with being queer. This book is in that sweet space where it is a horror novel but it is mostly about self-love and acceptance. Can you make repairs for past harms you've done? Can you find connection with those you love? You can. All you have to do is literally fight demons.

A really solid horror book, and a great start. Didn't go the direction I expected at all, for sure. I did feel like the ending was a bit abrupt, but I feel that way about a lot of horror media.
