The author did an amazing job of making this feel really eerie and it was a quick read but it’s not at all the book I was expecting from the blurb. It was marketed as a horror with strange town vibes where the folks are weird and disappearing but it ended up being about a couple who are having marital problems after losing a baby - it was really a depressing read to be honest!

It felt like a lot of plot points weren’t really tied together. The townspeople started being rude and there was lots of talk about the antenna but it was never linked so I’m not sure
