Before I started this book, I told my husband that I never really felt the fear or chills others describe when reading horror. Enter: Incidents Around the House, audiobook narrated by Delanie Nicole Gill.
There's a lot to unpack with this one, and the story being told by the perspective of an eight year old girl made it all the more frightening and entertaining. And coming from a broken home and understanding that early childhood trauma, the human experience was so beautifully woven into the supernatural.
10/10, but dear God I won't read this one again. Maybe.
