We follow in third person multi pov the story of Mikey who’s a Highschooler growing up in a canadian small town.
Being always drawn to the occult and dark, he’s an outcast who only wants to be loved.
(…)
I enjoyed this audiobook so much.
I also had some sad-mood-swings during the last quarter bc I feared for the end (it’s a horror!! y’all)
And some of my fears came true, while other outcomes surprised me.
!! The afterword was super awesome, I loved to get that look behind the lens as well as some views on the queer focus and how it could’ve been, if it were written for an audience in 2017 with more knowledge about the lgbtqiap+ community
Audiobook narrator: Joel Froomkin
