4.0

Disturbing psychosexual gothic horror about British fascism and (trans)misogyny. A thorough and terrifying exploration of the logics of fascism and its effects psychologically and interpersonally. Through this nightmare-like fictional exploration, British transmisogyny and fascism and the ways the two are interlinked is easier to grasp as an American reader. Some of the metaphors feel a little on the nose, but that’s a small quibble with what is otherwise a creative and deeply disturbing text. Nicky Endres’ narration of the audiobook is masterful, too, particularly the voicing of the house.

Horrifying, heartbreaking, grabs-you-by-the-throat storytelling. I had to finish it quickly because it was putting me in a weird headspace but I still loved it. Some of the run ones make it a little hard to follow but I really think it lends to the idea of psychosis or other forms of mental torment
