This novella was the perfect example of how horror doesn’t have to be all blood and guts and bodily fluids everywhere. It’s a quiet yet haunting family drama, featuring a brother and sister who go back to their family’s cabin in an effort to confront their old demons. I was reminded of what I love about horror - that creeping sense of unease and dread which inches its way up your spine, all the while knowing you’re safe in your cosy home. I lowered my rating because I found a lot of the dialogue clunky and there were too many ellipses and italics threw me off, and a few too many cheesy lines.
