Thank you to the publisher and to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is weird horror at its finest. Incredibly unsettling and strange in the best ways.

You get a strong sense of unease and foreboding from the first page and that just grows as the story unfolds. The only downside for me is that because it is a short story, you don't get a chance to get to grips with the characters, which means that the wife's sudden transformation was really jarring and didn't seem to work.

You also don't get all the info, but in this case I really think it works. What happened to Anna? How was it the main character's fault? Not knowing genuinely makes this story creepier.

This was a great short read between more in-depth books and was a lot of fun.
