so so so Goth - morbid, gruesome, terrifying. A depiction of love in the margins, when the center of a community is so grounded in violence and fear. Love it.

I maybe would have finished this novella if I wasn’t already weary from trying to read the author’s novel Manhunt at the same time. I realized that her hyper-spare prose style and ceaselessly grim tone are not for me. I’m not a hater through, I’m glad she’s out there writing stories for the people who enjoy her work.

The torture is grisly but somehow mesmerizing. I read this while listening to Lingua Ignota's ALL BITCHES DIE. Best way to spend an hour. Thanks to Storygraph for recommending this author to me!
