All the White Spaces by Ally Wilkes
4.0
One of my formative memories as a horror lover is watching the X-Files episode Ice, set on abandoned arctic science station. All the White Spaces is gripping and well-written polar horror, and it explores the chilling (pun intended) effect of extreme conditions on the human mind. It follows Jonathan Morgan as he joins an expedition to Antarctica in order to prove himself after the tragic deaths of his two older brothers in World War I.
I loved the setting and the way Wilkes mixed historical accuracy with new ideas to create an entirely convincing alternate reality. She included a reading list at the end, and I’d invite those who were puzzled by the transgender rep in the book to look at a few of her sources—Jonathan is a very plausible character, and I was cheering for him the whole way.
Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for an early copy of this book.
