Check content warnings. Campy and goofy but very disturbing and depraved at times. Not for everyone !

This book really hit for me. It was a bit long but there's nothing I'd cut easily.

It was early October, but in the strong, direct light of the morning sun, it was still warm. Fall was here, winter coming right behind it, but for now there was still a little good riding weather left.

a festive horror read! it dragged for me at parts tbh. i liked reading about vic discovering her abilities with the shorter way and those affects. 

hill writes complex relationships well when he has the time and space to flesh them out. i didn’t like her interactions with lou very much because there wasn’t much to like, but after wayne gets taken, their relationship feels so much more solid.

some hits and quite a few misses in here for me, but overall a good time (especially the last third)

It was entertaining, it is short of 4 stars because I sense a lot of r/menwrittingwomen and the protagonist is a bit of a pick me girl. Some scenes I found too long and pointless. The last part pf the book is the best, especially the climax. And the world building is fine, if not a bit too convenient with its many plot holes. The dialogue could use some work, when done right, it is very realistic.

pclairx's review against another edition

Racism, unnecessary descriptions of rape,  fatphobia, weird ableism, sexism, gory animal death, and Joe Hill just can not write women and refuses to stop trying. I love myself so I decided to stop before I got to far into the absolute tome of a book
