This is so good that it makes me wish I could draw so I can make fan art that does it justice

Eerie and unsettling all the way through. I love the shifts from past to present and the way the story tied itself together at the end.

I read this tale before bedtime. I don't expect a nightmare, though. Why? Because there is a haze around what's happening. It blurs the outlines of people and the time and the rooms they are in. So the nightmare is in the text - where it belongs.

And one thing more that is important to me: this story bears being read again. I love that. Thank you. All the best.

Wow! What's the worst that can happen when you buy a hair product? I think I just found out.

Strobe-light panic attack fiction will be a Substack genre. This is exemplary.
