My mom recommended this one a while ago and it’s been sitting on my “books to try when I don’t know what I want to read” list ever since. Honestly, I loved it. I loved the perspective of making a documentary, it felt like I was watching a horror movie in a way I can’t really describe. Having so much of the story being told from that lens was just so interesting, especially with the added aspect of the narrator being an outsider to that group of people. Things like the main character referring to people with descriptive nicknames because they didn’t know their names made it feel more realistic and was one of a dozen little details that added to the atmosphere of disquiet. I’ll be rereading this one for sure.
