Sour Candy by Kealan Patrick Burke
2.0
Started as a really interesting premise, a childfree man burdened with a supernatural child, but never actually explored that aspect and instead moved fairly quickly to the banal Eldritch horror fare. Towards the end there was some hint for a fresh sort of horror with the whole , which I have never seen explored outside very niche genre and not from the horror angle, but that too was quickly jettisoned for a more mundane scare.
PS: the female officer policing everyone's language was very annoying. Is there something the author was trying to say with her character before he pawned her off to childcare duties?
