Well I blasted through this novella today while waiting on errand things. First, I was hooked in by the opening chapter: Molly wakes up to find herself locked up in the basement and she can’t remember much, but she finds her captor is herself, Molly. Then we go on a little journey that starts with a young Molly and her parents on their farm…. I really don’t want to say too much because I think even the early reveal was a nice surprise.

I don’t know how to sell this, I just thought it was such an engrossing journey and interesting story and premise, I recommend this for horror readers especially if they want something short. Basically, this is horror, but I wouldn’t say it was scary just more horrific with LOTS of blood and disturbing things - but for me enough distanced to not want to vomit.

This is my third Thompson and he’s demonstrated to me (even if I didn’t love Rosewater like I loved this one or Far from the Light of Heaven) that he is an underread sci-fi author, definitely going to try to consume more sooner than later.

Thompson’s mind is a deep, dark well of weird.

Every time Molly Southbourne bleeds, a clone appears. If she doesn’t kill it within the first few days, it goes … off.
