I started this novel because I thought it was about occult ritualistic suffering happening to some unsuspecting teenagers who hooked on the wrong stuff. But it's starting to feel like social commentary with horror ambiguity about actual teenage junkie angst.

The paranormal has almost no palpable connection to the story except an insinuation of it "eroding" the town.
This is why I don't like it when the haunting is not explicit. I get that the amiguity about it could be disconserning, but it's always the "ooh is there really a haunting or are people just crazy?" ambiguous. It's already half of the book and the spooky cosmic carrot just out of place is still there, c'mon

This story is really engaging, it's scratching my brain in the right parts, but that slab of an unmoving mystery, altough an interesting writting quirk, is making it feel a a tad stretched out. I feel like I'm being pressed because of it. I have to constantly pause reading it, so it's somewhat dissociative . But I think I get the idea.
I've become quite fond of Lu, I'd be fast friends with him in real life.
