Well fuck. Like, huge content warnings attached to novella number 8 in this absolute banger of a series, but this one was spectacular. Part one was fantastically written to make me feel so haunted and on-edge and tense, I was feeling sick. Really appropriate horror to the writing of a horrendous situation. This one in a way feels different to the other ones, maybe because we glimpse so many worlds all in one go, get tiny intersections with other volumes in the series and we spend quite some time with what happens before the first door even appears - yet the magic is the same. This universe McGuire has created is phenomenal and so hauntingly, intricately woven - it is incredible how little pages are necessary to completely fall into the plot, the world, the character and the pull of each narrative. MASTERFUL. And then the themes of this one, the lesson about trusting one's instincts, the horror of a threat waiting in the place you are supposed to feel safe, your home, bone-chilling, so so important, hard to read. The author's note alone carried me through what was to come (the note assuring us that Antsy will run before something truly happens). CW: child abuse, grooming, gaslighting, manipulation, pedophilia, death of a parent, grief
