A review by grimdreadful
Grey Dog by Elliott Gish
4.5
I am convincing you to read this book with my favourite quote:
"I am not a place where nature can be weeded and tamed and kept in order. I am tree roots – and dark hollows – and ancient moss – and the cry of the owls. I am not a thing that you can shape, not anymore. I am no garden, but the woods, and if you ever come near me again, every but of wilderness in me will rise up to bite you. I will tear your throat out with my teeth."
I loved this book. It's been a week, and I haven't stopped thinking about it, I probably wont stop thinking about it for a while. This was a beautifully written story of societal expectations of women with themes that center around misogyny, female rage, grief, loss, exploration of sexuality, and longing for freedom. With an added twist of supernatural horror and a tormented descent into madness.
Can someone make this into a movie, please? Like immediately!!!!
**thank you to @ecwpress for sending me a copy, as always, opinions are my own 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
