Talk:It Lives Beneath/@comment-27680174-20181116010605

I'm just gonna say it: I think this is even better than the first book. This is, as Tom described it, an Occult murder mystery.

And someone on Tumblr had an interesting theory for the end of the latest chapter. What if there was no monster? What if the MC was having a panic attack or other sort of episode due to all the trauma they've gone through recently?

Here's a list of every traumatic event I can think of that would cause them to have an episode like this:

Seeing their parents corpses

Seeing Kyle get drowned

Witnessing the cultists murder Ned

The encounter with the monster bear

Knowing that monsters exist

Knowing that there's a group of homicidal cultists on the loose and at least one of them is rich and powerful.
