- Remote Scottish chapel = claustrophobic paranoia amplified
- Folklore-tinged dread meets marital deception
- Multiple POVs unpeel lies layer-by-layer
- Polished facades crack, exposing privileged rot
If The Midnight Feast left you breathless with its slow-drip poison of privilege unraveling in gothic isolation, Rock Paper Scissors delivers that same exquisite suffocation—this time in a storm-locked Scottish chapel where marriage becomes a blood sport. Alice Feeney architects claustrophobia as masterfully as Foley, letting folklore whisper through fractured timelines while polished surfaces crack to reveal the rot you knew was festering underneath.
Here, every shift in perspective tightens the noose, and the locked-room paranoia you craved returns with vengeance. Feeney knows exactly when to let suspicion metastasize into dread.
If jealousy and betrayal are your currency, this pays dividends in blood.
