This is like Slewfoot, Cackle, and Nightbitch had a baby. It’s perfect!!!! Much of the book is set in Fall and a must read for the season. Our main character is an icon and I loved hearing her story as written through diary entries. So here for the witchy spiral!

 This book left me wanting so much more. So much more of...everything.

I like a slow burn horror - but something has to actually happen before the very end. I like a descent into madness, but why is madness simply an unwillingness to bathe? She's stalked by the grey dog - can we actually get more of the dog? Can we see the dog, please?

This was just so dry and the attempt at a message about female empowerment and rage just didn't land for me.

Truly extraordinary. This is a slowburn literary horror, but it is by no means boring. Ada is a compelling MC who you can’t help but trust and believe, remaining rational and (mostly) composed even when recounting the disturbing things she’s seeing, even as she spirals into despair. “Grey Dog” offers a surprisingly provocative and heartwrenching account of a lesbian woman who struggles to understand and refuses to submit to her assigned role as a woman in society, as a daughter of a father, as a friend of a woman, as a lover to a man. Elliot Gish’s writing is incredible.
