sunn_bleach 's review for:

Black Light by Kimberly King Parsons
3.5
dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Short stories collection that I read in two days that focuses on the mundane horror of being Texas lower-middle class. Parsons is one of those literary fiction-adjacent authors whose stories are occasionally a bit too subtle for their own good, though I'm still glad I picked this up based on the Gabriela Garcia Marquez recommendation alone. Plus, amazing cover art. More of that, less of cut-outs on single-color backgrounds.
