“That said, the hearts of too many people hide darkness. They're only restrained because they live in a civilized society."

Safe to say, it’s so far my favorite horror book I’ve read! Reminds me of a mix between monster house and stranger things season 4!! I’m so obsessed!!

Favorite quote so far:

“Nature abhors a vacuum. When confronted with empty space, folks color inside the lines until they have a picture they can understand. No matter how terrible, a human monster was something comprehensible. A house that ate children was not.”

“The mutilation of the savage has its tragic survival in the self-denial that mars our lives. We are punished for our refusals. Every impulse that we strive to strangle broods in the mind, and poisons us. The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the luxury of a regret.“

I’m loving this book of course!
