Reading "Hollow Wing of Blackmore" was truly an immersive experience for me, especially because it delves deeply into the complexities of mental health through the lens of a gripping Catholic horror story. The protagonist, Seraphine Turner, is portrayed as someone struggling to maintain absolute perfection and control while battling a chaotic storm inside her mind, which is a powerful depiction of bipolar disorder and C-PTSD. What I found especially compelling was how the author explores the tension between rigid religious upbringing and the dark, possessive spiritual forces haunting Seraphine. The setting feels almost claustrophobic, with the constant presence of Father Gibson, who adds an unsettling layer to the story. The subtle sensory details like sandalwood and old parchment bring this eerie world to life. As a reader, stepping into Seraphine's shoes was challenging but rewarding. It made me reflect on the feeling of reality bending—where you can no longer distinguish between what’s real and what’s not—and the resilience needed to confront such mental battles. The "crown of thrones" Seraphine sees in the mirror symbolizes the burden and strength she carries simultaneously. Most importantly, this novel feels authentic in representing living with bipolar disorder and ADHD, mixed with trauma and fear. It’s a fresh take on the horror genre, bringing real psychological insights wrapped in a chilling story. If you appreciate stories that deeply explore mental health from a unique perspective and enjoy atmospheric horror, this book might be a captivating read for you.
