A review by lunztruk
A Lush and Seething Hell by John Hornor Jacobs

4.0

First, I liked how both stories were multifaceted commentaries on larger socio-political issues. They were also well written. The first one in particular was good (though I'm not sure why the author invented a country instead of just using Chile), with strong character development. The second one was decent, though I thought it drew on a bit and didn't culminate into a point as well as I would have liked. That said, I enjoyed these two pieces, which I'd describe as a cross between horror and magical realism.

Thanks to the publisher and Goodreads giveaways for a free ARC.
