I RATE THIS BOOK ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY

I have a low horror threshold but I LOVE me some resoundingly unsettling vibes. Especially when elements of nature become unexplainably warped (looking at you, “Annihilation” and “Amatka”, you super weird babies!!). I tore through this in two hours, mostly because I was reading at night and was too afraid to stop.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia takes her time unspooling the deepest, darkest, buck-wild craziness with the most delicious descriptions of a crumbling mansion and a family looooooooong past its prime. The pacing is wonderful, the heroine is a badass, I can‘t recommend this enough!!!
