Oof that was a chilling one. If you like folk horror and unhinged MFCs mixed with a lot of WTF, this is the book for you. The multiple POVs offered a deeper reflection on the lives of women in the family and the house of horrors they live in. Filled with stark layers of generational trauma and legacy, classism, misogyny and violence, it packs a lot into a short novel. Lower on plot and more on character and vibes, a haunted house revenge story that I'll be unraveling for days to come.
