a really fun halloween read! the atmosphere was just fantastic + i loved how well the author captured the spookiness of the season. this story had horrors of a supernatural nature juxtaposed with completely human horrors, which is a trope i'm always into. admittedly, the plot isn't very strong, but it's a fun, mindless kind of read with some really good horror moments.

my only complaint is that this book put the spooky spirit in my body + it's only march, lmao!
