All these pseudo-incest stories all have this suffocating vibe. The way they can’t escape from their new sibling and the harassment, can’t let their parents know, have to keep faking it at home, can’t even consider home a safe place. Plus the shame and the guilt, the fear and anxiety etc. Yikes. Only stories I thought were well done are ‘Love or Hate’ and ‘Blue,Black,Sky’. It probably helps that’s the parents didn’t stay together. The angst is there but it doesn’t feel suffocating.
