How is Paul Tremblay so good at the liminal spaces of humanity? Like his other books, this is a book about the difference between reality and possibility. It's about intent and implication and the need for meaning in life when life is the messy opposite of a story. This book is heartbreaking in so many ways, the horror a combination of the immediate and the existential. I'll be thinking about it for a long time.
