I’ve never actually seen a final destination movie before but this was a blast (hehe) - watched it with a friend who has the same dark sense of humour with me so that made it more fun.

Was suprised how much I liked the writing too 🖤

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - holy fuck this is what I mean when I say I want good literary horror. The dynamics between characters, the beautiful language that left you disturbed, the folklore sprinkled in. It was all *chefs kiss* 🖤

If you haven’t heard yet: pretty much Amazon is doing this thing where you can’t download the ebooks you purchase to use externally from any of their apps

SO! If you fancy, you can now get Agnes and Cat via digital download on Esty as well 🖤
