Finally a book with rep for closeted autistic women with tumultuous relationships with their mothers and themselves who have vague psychic powers, and are then thrust into a haunted, hungry house that preys on their neediness and swallows them whole, making it so they CAN'T leave the house, they can't they can't, they've surrended to the house, they never wanted a self anywhere and now they're air. Finally!
