You don't want to change our relationship status on Facebook? Wow. Guess I've been internet-dumped. Guess we're gonna have to split up, since we'll never be Facebook official. You're not even gonna put my initials in your Insta bio? Next to a heart emoji?

Don't feel like you need to come out to anyone until you feel ready.

"So what happens when the Krampus come?"
"Mayhem. Chaos. You know."

I think the writing was good. It was engrossing, disturbing, and the tension was there. To be honest, I got spooked.

But I don't know what it's trying to do? What is the actual story?
The messiness of the story is reflected very well in the title. Just looking at the title, I thought: Is it the story of how she became a horror writer? Is it a Krampus story? Is she a lucky girl because she became a horror writer of a Krampus story?
There's a "we're not really friends" group. There's a creepy church with a Krampus. There's also a creepy person from the past. And then, there's a vampire(-looking) servant???

One thing's clear, it is not a Krampus story. The Krampus was more like a motif.

Overall, a short, quick, and okay read. Even though the words flow well, the story is all over the place.
