Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova

alicebv1995's review against another edition

4.0

Monstrilio wasn’t at all what I expected. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book like this. But I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I think I’ll be haunted by this book for years to come

I'm jarred at how much this book affected me. What a strange, sad, beautiful journey through grief.
