A truly amazing and haunting story that is really lingering with me and definitely gave me one night of creepy dreams. I would have loved to study this book in a creative writing or literature class - the symbolism and imagery is immaculate. I thought the big reveal felt a little too simple, or maybe the right word is easy? Not sure, but there were some missed opportunities I think the explore some more of the horror after the reveal happens. 
Would recommend!
