Such an utterly bizarre book that reads like genuinely nothing else, but I kind of loved it. I don’t even know how to begin to describe this book - it’s horrifying, but not horror, fantastical but not fantasy. It would almost be Lovecraftian except the unknowable cosmic horrors is the main character. Do yourself a favour and read this so maybe you can tell me what it is.
