I find it really interesting catching glimpses of Danielewski's signature style of foreshadowing that he used in House of Leaves - inviting multiple narrators who know the future to set the mood for what comes next. It makes this story in particular feel more emphemeral and legend-like. Every chapter reads like a fated tragedy. This didn't have to happen. Maybe they should've stayed by that campfire forever...

Wow this family is so miserable (read: amazing writing)

I'm so eepy

What an intro. Despite this book's hefty length, I can already feel it's gonna be a breeze. It so instantly immersed me in its story, the casual narration, drifting between retelling and metanarrative, is so powerful. And even though it was just a short time we got to know the friendship between the two boys, seeing it end was devastating. Can't wait to read more!!!
