Julie’s thoughts: Horror isn’t a genre for everyone, and to be very clear- this is one terrifying book and there is a very apt content warning in it for a reason. If you’re willing to take the risk though, you will be amply rewarded with a true piece of art. If you can handle powerful themes drenched in a truly horrifying package, you are in for something incredible that will haunt you long after it’s over.
Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends, Ila and Hannah. Since then, Alice’s life has spiraled. She lives a haunted existence, selling videos of herself for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep.
Memories of that night torment Alice, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, to go past the KEEP OUT sign and over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, Alice knows she must go.
Together, Alice and Ila must face the horrors that happened there, must pull themselves apart from the inside out, put their differences aside, and try to rescue Hannah, whom the House has chosen to make its own.
