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.

i had such high hopes for this one…

i love the layout for this book, journal entries, a woman slowly going mad, a creepy town with a creepier secret, haunted woods, religion, soft LGBTQ

BUT the ending and the misplaced rage from the main character lost me

A vivid feral book that gets its tendrils in you without you even noticing. You drip down with its descent and it doesn’t let you go until it’s done.
