THE UNWORTHY is easily my favorite read of the year to date. TENDER IS THE FLESH has been on my list for a while now but I randomly came across THE UNWORTHY and decided to give it a go before its predecessor and I’m so happy I did. Agustina Bazterrica is a literary genius and I can’t wait to dive deep into her bibliography. This book is not for the faint of heart but paints a beautifully dark landscape of gothic, post-apocalyptic delights. I won’t go into plot details because this was a great book to go into knowing as little as possible. Just know that if you’re looking for a short horror read that quietly packs little gut punches woven between poetry and bone-chilling visuals, this is the book for you!
