Less than a week ago, I wrote in one of my poem’s verses: “to see the humanity in monsters, and the monstrous in humans”. Little did I know I was being prepared for this book.

The ending, without giving too much away, is a real gut-punch. It’s one of those endings that makes you sit back and think about the whole story in a new light. It’s gripping and, in true horror fashion, a bit haunting.

I'll be thinking about this book a lot, and I’m not complaining.
