I have not read many horror books/novellas but this was my cup of tea. It is very Midsommar vibes. I like that the story wasn't drawn out however, I am still so confused about what Josephine's vision was or the "why" of what this family does. What "strength" or "power" does it give them? I personally think this would be great as a movie or short film with a bit of fluff added to it. Will definitely be checking out more of this author's books as well! Overall, this was a good book for spooky season!
