The Murders of Molly Southbourne by Tade Thompson

3.0

A novella, a very short read. I wouldn't call it a body-horror kind of story, though there are elements of that, and it's a very visceral style of writing. I wasn't sure I was going to get through it because of the structure, and there's a certain amount of narrative distance that in the end makes sense when you understand Molly and how she's brought up to have a measure of clinical remove from her own life, but I was compelled to keep reading. Interesting if not necessarily my kind of read, but would recommend based on the writing and the concept.
