challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.5

It's hard to rate this one, because the story was so traumatic and hard to read, but the voices and experiences that this story brought to light were ones worth reading!

The trans and autism representation was so well done. This was also truly one of the top horror novels I have ever read. Just read with caution, but this one is heavy, dark, and traumatic.

lapis's review against another edition

Sadly I think I'm too much of a chicken for this book. If you are not a weenie (I never read horror, so I'm a pretty big weenie) I would recommend it if you want to see a trans masc autistic boy and supernatural powers.

If I ever gain more courage I will try this book again

 I love women as men are expected to, but the way only one who has ever experienced womanhood can.
