Not at all what I expected, but still a great read. This is horror that explores family dynamics, trauma, flawed but well meaning characters and amazing gender fluid and autism representation, all with a haunted house backdrop.

this book burrowed into my bones and is going to live there for a long time. solomon's writing is incredible, the characterization full, and the characters themselves compelling and real. I saw more of myself in Ezri than is maybe comfortable while also being deeply, positively resonant.
