Gothic and weird (complimentary). The first 2/3 feels like a different book from the last 1/3? Somehow both hard science and haunted house logic. It’s a trip.

Skin-crawingly disturbing and one of the most brilliant novels I've read. Leech begins as gothic science fiction with wildly creative atmosphere and worldbuilding, then seemlessly twists into a horror story about lack of bodily autonomy. It's a scream, a vengeance, and a triumph.
