A bloody, gory, and surprisingly touching follow up to the first novella, The Survival of Molly Southbourne subverts expectations and dares to ask rather than killing them “have you tried loving them?”

An exploration of identity and mental health, with a heavy dose of horror and sci-fi, a coming of age story with lots of self discovery and some bi/pan rep that made me feel all the things.

Beware some gross body horror and make sure to read the first book before jumping into the sequel!

Really cool sequel.
The development of the molly as an individual was really well done, and the discovery that they did not, in fact, have to kill each other, was devastating. Imagine who they could have all been if they’d discovered that early on.
