Assessment:
Plot: What might have been a singular, interesting idea struggles to define itself against a deluge of secondary information and an unclear focus.
Prose/Style: The prose aims for something between informational and camp-horror, but is bogged down by repetitive phrasing, broken structure, and mercurial viewpoints.
Originality: The unique and compelling premise could be bolstered with a strengthened plot, and more organized and focused information.
Character Development/Execution: The main characters struggle to define themselves through personality or conflict, becoming instead avatars through which the events of the story are viewed, with only the most surface-level interactions and emotional reasoning driving the plot.
