Stephen Graham Jones done did it again. I find the pacing of his work to be tedious with longer novels but his novellas are where he really shines. Thoroughly creepy, super gorey, and incredibly trippy, this novella is a story of grief, familial trauma, ghosts, time travel???? Or maybe he's just crazy. You get to decide how much you can have

I feel like something in this story was lost on me unfortunately.

This book felt more emotionally charged then it had any right to be. The plot could have been fleshed out more, but it made me feel like I was apart of the family. I am a huge fan of magical realism and this book not only used it well, but in refreshing ways. A short read that is less horror and more reflective about how family can make us whole.
