The narrative explores the lingering trauma of natural disaster and the suffocating nature of small-town secrets. Skull writes about a world where strange friendships form amidst horrifying deaths. The book examines how grief and guilt poison relationships over time. This work suits readers who enjoy gothic fiction with a focus on family dynasties and hidden sins.
