Holy shit...

I would describe Bloom as a sapphic cottagecore horror novel. It starts out sweet and sultry but soon turns dark and bloody. You notice all the reg flags, the subtle hints, and see the story, and Ro, spiralling towards a disturbing secret... and ending. Not for the faint of heart, it's a dark, bloody, hannibal-esque novel, and, while predictable, it is undeniably a gripping horror - kind of a perfect read for a spooky evening in.
