Beautiful prose. I read this book in one sitting. The author’s writing truly brought this disturbing world to light. However, I feel like the end was a bit anticlimactic compared to the bones of the story. I wish the more supernatural elements had been explored a bit more, rather than leaving the ending so open to interpretation. Overall, I enjoyed this novella. It was worth a quick read.
