⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Delilah S Dawson delivers a precise novella that effectively twists sapphic romance into horror through the lens of obsession. By grounding supernatural undertones in the mundane details of artisan goods, she creates a lingering sense of unease rather than relying on external threats. The narrative structure supports its theme of entrapment with a focused scope, allowing for a deep dive into Ro’s internal struggle. Dawson avoids melodrama, instead letting the slow creep of discomfort drive the plot. This approach makes the predatory nature of Ash’s affection all the more unsettling. The text challenges romantic ideals by presenting love as a potential trap, offering no easy resolutions or clear moral boundaries. It is best suited for readers who enjoy dark fantasy and psychological horror that examines the darker aspects of intimacy.
