A book that is genuinely terrifying me…

Review

I’m currently reading “Baby Teeth” by Zoje Stage and, as someone who doesn’t get scared by books very easily, i had to come post on here to say this book is LEGITIMATELY scaring me!!

i’m only halfway through so i’ll come amend this review if it turns out to be shit, but i am getting chills down my spine reading this. for reference, the only books that have actually scared me are The Shining and (parts of) We Used to Live Here

for anyone interested in the plot of Baby Teeth: “Baby Teeth tells the unsettling tale of Hanna, a mute seven-year-old girl who desires to remove her mother from the picture entirely. Hanna’s adoration for her father blinds him to her increasingly sinister behavior. Meanwhile, Suzette, her mother, struggles with her daughter’s dark tendencies while managing her own deteriorating health.”

i’d compare it to The Omen or We Need to Talk About Kevin
