It’s also a particularly humanizing portrayal of a pandemic & a deeply religious response to that pandemic. It’s interesting to me that a lot of the attitudes around *somehow still living during horrible times* match very closely with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Do you like religious horror? Do you like post-apocalyptic horror? Do you like dark fantasy? Do you like really well-written, flawed characters trying to do their best in life? This is a book you should read.
Buehlman’s writing is pretty aces. His characters are interesting, his senses of action and pacing are top-notch.
The one thing to know, if you do pick this up, is that this book is actually scary, and fairly gruesome, too. It’s not exactly splatter stuff, but there’s quite a bit of violence.
Still, definitely recommend if you’re into that.
