This is such an imaginative novella. Parker creates such a cool mythology in such a short amount of time. The morally grey unnamed narrator is such a fun perspective to read from. It’s one of those books where you’re enjoying the ride but wondering how things could possibly end.

Fair warning: a sex worker is murdered at the start of the book.
This was a fun rambling piece! I liked what worldbuilding there was. Normally I hate historical fiction but I liked the twist of 'demons are real and exorcists are real fucks about it'. The banter and prose were fun and witty to read, and I liked the characterisations. It felt like a dark comedy akin to Monty Python.
content warnings:
minor: unsanitary, suicide ideation,
medium body horror, murder, whorephobia, explosions, death, anti evolution, bone fractures, injuries, torture, slavery, child trafficking, murder,
major death, blood, possession, religion christianity,
