Not all people are born good, some are born bad. There may not be a reason for it, or it may be to genetics. Either way, there are children who are just evil. They are bad people, they do bad things, and people know they are evil. They may not tell the parents, or directly look at the kids, but behind closed doors there is whispers. I know from personal experience, that due to either early childhood trauma or just miswiring of the brain, there are kids that are just bad. It is sad, and I hope that most of them grow to be productive, healthy adults that can have relationships that are fulfilling and healthy. But sadly in some cases that is just not going to happen.
This is such a case with this story. It really is almost three stories in that it follows one individual through three stages of life. Well life and death I guess. Also possession, so maybe more than three lives. Anyway, this story is about what happens when someone goes bad. By bad I mean REAL bad, not just “start small fires” bad, but “I am going to kill your girlfriend so you will be with me” bad.
The story was odd. Mostly that is a good thing, obviously there is the chance that odd can go sideways, but in this instance it is a good thing. I overall enjoyed the story, and felt that it was fitting for the horror genre it is part of. There are some places in the story that I could not personally stomach and so I skimmed over those. I read it while I wasn’t feeling well and so that on top of the descriptions left my tummy a little woozy.
Overall a good story and I like the voice of the book.
