Thanks to FSG Books for the free copy of this book.
- Rivers Solomon brings their explorations of race and gender to the horror genre with MODEL HOME, and it is intensely chilling.
- It begins as a gothic tale of a perhaps-haunted house, and morphs into things ever larger and scarier as the book progresses.
- I particularly liked how the three Maxwell siblings all reacted to their childhood differently in how they lived as adults, and how they all remembered things slightly differently.
