Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng
by Kylie Lee Baker
π‘πͺπ½π²π·π° 4.5/5βοΈ
Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng by Kylie Lee Baker is a horror story set during Covid. Cora is a crime scene cleaner who has witnessed the murder of her sister. She is being haunted by inner turmoil, racial prejudice, and actual ghosts!
Thank you so much to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the ALC of this! The narrator was excellent! Seriously highly recommend you listen!
I seriously love Kylieβs writing. She is so good at painting a picture and really putting you in the book. She does such an excellent job of blending supernatural and horror with real world events in this book! It is so interesting how she weaves the supernatural and gore into this!
This is gory! Heads up if you are planning to read it. It really takes a great writer to blend real life brutal events with ghosts and gore. Definitely worth a read if you enjoy gory, supernatural horror that showcases social injustices in real world events!
The only thing I can say is that I had wanted more! More from Cora maybe later down the line more in the future on how she ends up coping. I know we have an ending but maybe I am just being greedy.
