inkandplasma 's review for:
Bloody Summer
by Carmen Maria Machado

I liked the framing of this one a lot. It's styled like an academic text, which isn't something I've seen a lot of in fiction. I've seen it even less often in horror, and I think that it worked really well for a horror novella. The detached tone makes it twice as unnerving and I really enjoyed the audiobook experience. The idea of something that children can see and understand but adults can't is extremely creepy and I'd like to read more exploring that idea. Honestly, I'd love to read more about the Bloody Summer in general, but I think the short-form of the novella helped get this book under my skin.
