Sarah Langan's first book I read was so serious, but her second book was amazing because I loved the situation and characters she created. This is one of my favorite books of this year so far. Even though it's barely over 100 pages, I felt very intensely about the main character and my feelings changed a lot as I learned more. about her and as events unfolded. There are some tropes, like not remembering certain important events from childhood, but they are handled very cleverly. I could related to so much here: not living up to my potential, trusting people I shouldn't, holding misplaced grudges. This was so well done. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this fantastic little horror

I’ve enjoyed Ms. Langan’s writings since The Missing.
This particular novella was one of my least favorite. While I still love her writing style and wit, I found this confusing.

What a firecracker of a novella, firstly the cover art is *chefs kiss* I enjoyed this so much, I love a darkly humourous disturbing read and this was exactly that, I want to keep my review short as to not spoilt it for others as it is a quick read! Highly recommend to horror fans or weird fiction lovers!

Janet and Pam went to high school together, where Janet had memories of Pam ruining her social life. Now, many years later, Janet figures out that Madame Pamela (a popular medium) is her high school enemy, Pam Kowolski.

Janet sets out to expose Pam for the lying con artist that Janet knows her to be. An odd thing starts to happen, though, as Janet realizes the world is quickly becoming a different place.

I liked this story, but I didn’t love it. However, with it being only 120 pages, it’s still worth reading.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free ARC. This review contains my honest, unbiased opinion.
