Having said that, the novel is very effective. As an exploration of depression, suicide, morbid curiosity, and self-destructive desires, it’s among the best horror stories I’ve come across. It’s a coming of age narrative in the worst way possible and, I guess I’ll leave it at that. Check it out and abandon all hope.

I have a teenage son who struggles with thoughts of self-harm and suicide, so this story hit close to home. This is a very intense look at how depression and suicide can be contagious, especially among young, impressionable teens. There is a part in the story when the boy's mother asks him what's wrong. He wants to tell her everything, but instead tells her he's stressed from school. This is my son's M.O.
