Not usually a horror reader, but the magical realism parts of this book really made it for me. The depiction of grief that each person was experiencing and how it could be so all consuming, to the point that you can't even see fully outside yourself. Like Magos really only seeing her own and ignoring Jospeh and later doing that performance pieces without considering how it could affect M. M's chapter really brought the whole story together and was so wonderfully written. A wonderfully queer book!
