Usually novellas leave me feeling like the author stretched out a short story idea for 50 pages too long OR like the author got bored halfway through writing a full-length novel and decided to just wrap it up early. But here is the rare novella that is exactly the right length. Long enough to give you all the gory details without overstaying its welcome. This book packs more weird body horror into 75 pages than other 500+ pg novels I’ve read. Five stars.
