A review by guarinous
Garden of Earthly Bodies by Sally Oliver

2.0

Garden of Earthly Bodies tries very hard to be an intellectual fever dream but falls far short and ends up being too scattershot to hold attention for an elongated period of time. While the exploration of grief through a sci-fi / horror lense was an interesting idea, the gory narrative and over the top, unrealistic characters ended up taking me out of the story too often to get fully invested.
