You have a great skill at turning the mundane into something frightening.

A brilliant concept brilliantly executed and (and this is a rarity, genuinely undettling. The uncanny discomfort put me in mind of House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski which in our house is high praise indeed.

Wow, thank you. I had not heard of House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski but after doing some research, that is high praise indead! I shall have to have a read.

Oooh, House of Leaves is one of my all-time favourites! ✨ It’s a must-have on my shelf. I’ve actually bought it four times because I keep leaving a copy behind for the next person who moves in. Feels right for that kind of book 🍃

Chills. You doing that thing. When great writers pinpoint something uncomfortable and primal about human nature...

I LOVE this. So well done on the creep factor, I can feel the discomfort and wonder poking around my own subconscious about stuff like this. Great format too, with the Reddit threads.

Thank you Lucy. There are several teasers and two short stories from this world, if this has piqued your interest.

Yes I’m going to look them up!!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the concept, once you are all caught up.

I would love for a producer to pick up this concept - it's partly why I wrote the teasers and two short stories.

Thank you for your wonderful comment!
