Female/Indigenous Horror supremacy still reigns
With extra bonus points for queer characters.
Firstly this cover is perfection, I will probably purchase a hardcover just to display.
Secondly the formation of this was just…..amazing. Having the descriptions of Ritas art at the beginning of each chapter, weaving into the story, really added to an already extremely atmospheric story. Morris creates a living art piece with her writing, I could see the swamp, feel its presence with each page. Green Fuse Burning has all the elements you love of modern grief horror, told through Morris’s expert story telling, her writing feels almost comforting, even in such a setting.
Swampcore horror was not something I thought I was going to fall in love with this year but here we are!
