Very dark, and creepy, and bloody little horror story that I happily devoured in one sitting. Unpredictable, and evokes the feeling of someone approaching you just out of sight.

There is a twist near the end that I adore. It's not even the main one; I just love being surprised.

And huzzah, there is a sequel!! Molly, and all your molly clones, I'm curious about what you will do next...

This might be the most weird and creepy book I've ever read, and I enjoyed (ew-ed) every single minute of it.
The two main things I really liked was how Molly became the way she was, and what happened to both of her boyfriends.
The level of suspense was unsettling but a great read nonetheless, glad I didn't read it at night.

I was super interested in the premise of this novella, but found the balance between atmosphere and substance to be a bit disappointing. The atmosphere is exquisite – Thompson has a gorgeous way with words that makes even body horror moments enjoyable to read... But there wasn't enough there-there for me as a reader. I'm intrigued to see that this is a series, but I'm not sure I was hooked enough to continue reading.
dark fast-paced

another good book to get out of a slump. the timeline confused me and i found the ‘why’ of everything underexplained and a little hokey, but a quick and compelling read overall.

Strange, violent, and immensely gripping, The Murders of Molly Southbourne turns a fascinating premise into a story that is at once violent and unsettling--but also a curious examination of identity, connection, and self-determination in a world that often does not make sense.
