"Told through multi media, and presented in the form of an edited manuscript with footnotes and illustrations, The Once Yellow House looks into how 300+ cultists were brutally, unexplainably murdered. Most of the story is told through diary entries, and a back and forth recorded conversation between the two sole survivors.

There’s a lot of very imaginative body horror, and some very unsettling moments with the husband and the house both transforming rapidly. It’s also an ode to the color yellow, and so there was a lot of very vibrant imagery that I was able to picture in my head as I read.

It’s also an examination into a deeply toxic marriage, and I honestly wish we got more of that. The MC and her husband moves into this sorta haunted house, and she starts to learn that he isn’t who she thought he was. It’s good, but that’s my favorite trope in a story and I eat that stuff up 😂

I wish it was maybe 100 pages shorter. There’s a big section in the middle that I really think hinders the story. It’s a back and forth convo, and it’s brought up by the one person that we really should move on with the story, why so much backdrop, why so much build up, and I agree 😂 it honestly ruined any tension that had been built up prior, this constant urging of like “come on let’s go let’s get to the good stuff�, so that when the good stuff finally happened it was a bit of a let down after all the build up.

Overall, still recommend and really enjoyed it!"
