Bat Eater by Kylie Lee Baker
4.0
dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

Probably the scariest book I’ve read in a while! One morning I genuinely did not listen to it while walking my dog in the dark because it was up to such a creepy part 👀 I loved the mash up of very real horrors like racism and covid together with traditional hungry ghosts. Baker’s depictions of the hungry ghosts were truly spine-chilling, some really good evocative writing! She also does a brilliant job with the more human horror of gore, murder, and racism. I thought the ending was incredible, terrifying stuff.
