This is one of the most heartbreaking coming of age stories I’ve read-and for me the most disgusting because..well I hate flies

A beautifully written novella. Deeply moving and thought provoking. Powerful stuff, I highlighted quite a bit in this one. Quick read, long thoughts

Coming of age horror is one of my favorite subgenres, and Chad Lutzke always gets it right. I love his books, but I also know that they're going to hurt me a little. His characters always feel so real, like people you could or have known. While not my favorite book of his, Of Foster Homes and Flies really worked for me.
