pickLove! I‘ve been trying horror as an adult recently and this was the perfect title for that. The religious trauma was so well done. The fears of someone who is queer and attends church/has a lot of faith were so similar to how I felt when I started my own journey to self discovery.
Seriously creepy and seriously amazing! Have recommended to others and they have also loved it.

LMM often mentions Bulwer-Lytton as an author she enjoys. He‘s famous for the line: “It was a dark and stormy night” and has a bad-writing contest named after him! (www.bulwer-lytton.com/)
Did you like Bulwer-Lytton‘s writing style in this story? Why or why not?
