RaveBooklistThe tenseness of Julia’s perspective is tempered with humor, but the alternate viewpoint drowns in emotional horrors as upsetting as the shadow-infested landscape it can’t escape. The very text of these chapters unsettles with clever, unexpected changes in format, voice, and style. Every aspect of the novel, no matter how initially incomprehensible, is a perfect thread woven into Tremblay’s (Horror Movie, 2024) tale—even the title alludes to the central conflict. The dangers of emerging tech have never been so chilling and, simultaneously, so strangely delightful.
RaveLibrary JournalThrillingly creepy ... Chung knows how to entertain and unnerve simultaneously, while tucking in commentary on the modern world ... A must-have socially aware horror novel.
