4.5

Overall Bloom is an incredible piece of queer horror that does not have the characters’ sexualities be a major part of the plot. While at times the writing falls into fanfiction territory, I still throughly enjoyed this story and its truly delectable & delightful hints to what’s happening. As I slowly realized what happened, I genuinely felt sick to my stomach /pos. 

Quite campy, but quite compelling!
