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...

I'm so eepy

This may either be the best or worst book to read right before bed, it's so calming I find myself fighting not to drift off to sleep. I MUST AT LEAST FINISH THE CHAP-zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

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!!!
