Silk by Caitlín R. Kiernan
4.0
Review originally written for Pandemonium Books and Games
Caitlin R. Kiernan’s Silk is a great counterculture novel, set in the midst of young southern goths and punks, but there’s something deadly at the center of it. Are you afraid of spiders? Are you afraid of witches? Are you afraid of loneliness? Kiernan has you covered in any of those cases; she is the queen of gothic lyricism and weird monster biology. It can take a lot to send chills down the spine of a dedicated horror buff, but Kiernan manages it every time.
