Delicious Monsters by Liselle Sambury
5.0

An incredible story!!! So much more than a haunted house. This was a book about intergenerational trauma, and the "lost" stories of black girls/abused women. Imagine if Encanto were a horror story. This book has that gothic horror energy: A house which has absorbed the predatory, manipulative, greedy, twisted nature of those who've lived there. A tale all around about hurting the ones we love, and growing by owning the truth, however ugly.

I cannot sing enough praises! I want to reread this book and dissect it line by line! I cannot wait to read more by Liselle Sambury.
