I really wanted to like this after hearing so many good things about it from my favorite horror tiktokers but I just can't. It has good parts but overall, fell short. First off, the blog writing parts were annoying. They interrupted the story at the wrong parts. The ending was confusing. The "exorcism" was utterly ridiculous. Didn't scare me a bit.

More like a 3.5 or 3.75. The story as a whole was generally good and kept me reading, but some segments definitely dragged somewhat. There was some good humor, a lot of references to other horror stories (and authors) and, in my copy, at the end, a few interesting story notes and an essay which I enjoyed.

Looking forward to giving some more of his work a try, with mild hesitation. Then again, this isn't exactly my most commonly explored/enjoyed side of horror, so I'm absolutely judging it on an admittedly skewed scale.

Meh is all I really feel for this book.
It was solid and kept my attention (some parts not as much)

Didn’t expect the ending and didn’t really care for the ending. Very anti-climactic in my opinion. I am interested in trying more from this author tho as they write really easy to read stories. Hoping for more from some of his other works
