I was gasping and sobbing as I finished this book. As the blurb says, Gurba’s work is ceremony, incredibly important to witness.

Thanks to Avid Reader Press for the free copy of this book.

 - CREEP is a collection of essays that are part memoir, part historical exploration, all righteous rage.
- Gurba is a master at channeling her experiences into sentences that cut right to the heart of the problem and of the reader.
- This book is a tough read. But if you're up for it, it's a truly excellent excoriation of the many overlapping systems that make space for predators to thrive.
