Finally a dream sequence that wasn’t completely stupid, useless, pointless, and only added as a cheap way to shoehorn in some more “horror”

“My life, it is a wide spiral, made up of alluring figures that emerge from the darkness to penetrate my orbit before they are flung out to distant shores, distant dreams. The same story told over and again, until the spiral completes another circuit and a new face emerges from the gloom.”

“Perhaps everything you saw tonight was a fantasy of your own making. You, who wants so desperately to be a part of something larger than yourself that you forced a connection to the piece, one in which you could live out your darkest desires…”

This novella has been the best part of the book so far. Kinda giving Nosferatu (2024) vibes with the kinkiness

Only makes sense to have the “successful(?)” conversion therapy story to come after the summer camp, midnight vagina tree story.

“It’s been humid like this for a month now, ever since our mother disappeared. And just when I think I’ve finally run out of hope, one last drip of it leaks out to ruin everything.”
