i really enjoyed the sort of eerie but still cozy atmosphere the story had, most of it was also caused by the clear writing voice. the length of the story also felt right, it has short glimpses that tell exactly what the reader needs to know to tell them Something is up. I just personally missed a bit of the setting descriptions, which is just my visual brain really wanting stories that paint a picture in my head.

Disclaimer: I was sent an advanced reading copy so here we gooo

I really enjoyed this mix of poetry and horror, two genres I'm slowly diving more into this year, so a combination of both felt too good to leave. Ever since I finished it, I haven't really stopped thinking about it, the vibes were all there, so it's a perfect quick read for this month! The little drawings really added an extra kick to the copy, and the way the poems are designed and placed was also another interesting touch. It could be gorey during some times, while other parts felt more emotional, plus the use of second person from time to time was really interesting to experience, and so in the end I felt like it was a nice balance of spookiness and feelings. Naturally, some poems felt stronger than others but in the end, I was here for the wild ride, start to finish.

Despite some minor sudden present tense uses, and the fact it isn't really my go to genre or length, I still enjoyed the dynamic the two characters had going on and the way they communicated

The second I started reading I knew someone has been watching too much buzzfeed unsolved: supernatural and ghost files, and therefor it's a vibe
