A review by honnari_hannya
Daughter from the Dark by Marina Dyachenko, Sergey Dyachenko
2.0
An odd, deeply unsettling book with bad people you can't help but cheer for because you just feel so sorry for them. I didn't necessarily like this as much as I liked Vita Nostra, but I will definitely pick up another title from this duo because they have a way of crafting existential dread that is rare.
Suspenseful, mysterious, full of creeping horror as a man's life spirals into confused chaos that is brought about by one of the creepiest children I've read about thus far. Not for everyone, but if you like Kafka, (weird) Murakami, and those stories that blur the line between realism and the metaphysical, this might just be for you.
