So creepy as each chapter progresses!
A bit confusing with the progression of events(his childhood could've been told in chronological order) and it would've delivered the same type of creepiness and suspense to the readers.
I also wanted the author to give more depth or information about the penpal/stalker so it lacked that closure for me in the end.
Overall, I still liked it and it fit the vibe of my spooky reading list 🎃👻
