I love fun horror books that render well on audio!! I love them!!
Things that are fun to read about: the uber-elite and their cult-like ways, mysterious building, possibly evil children, the terrors of motherhood, the terrors of your body changing suddenly, weird houses, neighbours that may be possessed, oozy gunk found on the walls of your pristine new apartment, run of the mill evil landlords, gargoyles, new york, terrible jobs, alcoholic rabbis, and a main character who makes side money by narrating vampire smut.
This book was a fun blast that tackled some serious issues (such as disability, childcare disparities in heterosexual relationships, antisemitism, class disparity, etc etc etc) with tact while also telling a fun and compelling story. As stated in my opening: I highly recommend the audiobook.
Recommended if you're into medium-fast paced horror that is both dark but also doesn't take itself too seriously. The author cites many amazing modern horror pieces as inspiration, and I definitely saw elements of Baby Teeth and Paul Tremblay books shining through, so if you're into those you should read this. 4.25 stars on SG, rounded down to 4 stars for GR.
