Trader Joe's near me is underground on the P1 level of parking. The main elevator was broken for a while. It's fixed now, and a British lady announces the floor. Except Trader Joe's is on "Floor 89," and Ground is "Floor 110," and I hope they never fix this. It's like entering a parallel universe.

I think that's it, yeah. Zero false expectations, and a really clever use of tropes. The rising tension during the ending is still my favorite part. (And I love a summer clamp slasher, so I will probably love the sequel!)

It's still weird to me how much I enjoyed the first IaVN, especially the end. It definitely sneaks up on you... much like Johnny. I'm looking forward to the sequel!

I love the crinkly sound of a sketchbook page that's not meant for wet media, but you slopped some paint or ink on there anyway, because art.

Thank you for the follow! I don't think I'm eligible for this, as I'm not independently/self published (some of my short stories have been picked up by magazines) -- but I will repost to get the word out! 😊

He's not a normal person, and I don't ever want to see him on the street. I want to see him in a maximum security prison for the rest of his life, with zero possibility of parole.
