My Darling Dreadful Thing

3.5 ⭐️

This turned out to be a pretty good gothic tale with writing that reminding me of A Dowry of Blood, not that it's written as a conglomeration of letters but the way the author puts words together was almost poetic and I enjoyed it.

An extremely short summary to this story is that it follows a girl who has a ghost friend who protects her or gets her to do bad things. Most chapters are formed with her talking about her past and then ending with her talking to her therapist who is trying to decide if she's psychotic or just evil for her court trial. As the story goes on you start to wonder if there actually was a supernatural creature making her do things or is she just deranged herself.

I almost gave this 4 stars but for some reason it kind of dropped off for me towards the end and I don't really know why, however I think it's worth reading regardless.
