Why'd you have to make me cry, Grady Hendrix?! This book is sad, sweet, creepy, and terrifying. Content warning for child peril and child death. Plus, there are disturbing dolls, puppets, body horror, parent death, and general grief. Yet, somehow, it still has that little wink of humor you expect from a Grady Hendrix book. It can be over the top, but it's also so real, especially in the way he explores family dynamics and the complications of loving and being loved in a family. Read this if you want to feel all the things.
