Book 4 in my journey to read all 101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered by Sadie "Mother Horror" Hartmann.

What in the daddy issues–time jumpin–cave demon–crazy neighbor–apocalyptic–flesh worms did I just read??? Because it was a fckn wild ride and I'd like to get on again.

I honestly don't even know what to write because my mind is blown. So, I guess we can just sit here, staring at our screens, and self-reflect on our reading choices. * cries in KU * yeah, ok, let's not do that.

Anyways, this book is so stinkin smart–or I'm just dumb. Either way, it's a great story. Chuck Wendig touches on some pretty deep topics, respectfully, like generational trauma and child abuse but keeps the story moving and kinda funny.

The characters, and there are several, are soooooooo well developed; they were real people to me, still are...ok uhhh let's move on
