a truly creepy, unsettling, eerie horror but the characters were bland, the writing shallow, and uh, the native american representation was kind of shitty? especially when you take into consideration the author's note
▷ Representation: protagonist with emetophobia; love interest with a sleep disorder; Native American scs.
