This story warns of something bad to come from the first line, but the main character decides to go out with his friends anyway. The tenseness of the situation only rises from there as the reader tries to understand what these warning signs could mean.
This was such a good and creepy story and it sneaks up on you perfectly. I wouldn’t classify it as horror and it’s not too detailed if you don’t like scary stories but there’s just enough to raise goosebumps and wonder what is really going on in this house. I also enjoyed this take on ancestors and cults, it was such a powerful story.
I love the author’s writing and will need to seek out more!
