Pretty fantastic piece of folk horror based in Irish mythology and packed with gooshy and squishy bits. Also, one of the best riffs on the Candle Cove creepypasta I've encountered. Also, a lovely queer coming-of-age story set in an undergraduate theater group in the late 90s/early 2000s. If that sounds perfect for you, it's because it probably is. God knows it was for me.

Just couldn’t get into it and some of the reviews mentioned an unnecessary romance, which is a hard pass for me.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!

It was great to learn more about Irish folklore, so that really drew me in further to the story as it went along. It dragged here and there, but over all it was a quick, spooky story, that makes me want to learn more Irish heritage!

Very creepy story just in time for the fall season. I love stories based on folklore of the country and this did not disappoint. The story did jump around by years and the ending left me with a few questions as well. Overall thoroughly enjoyed the book.
