This was an incredibly imaginative story that weaves in elements of both fantasy and horror to create a poignant social commentary on racism & the root of hatred. A very creative, fast-paced thriller and I would definitely recommend! This was my first read of the social horror subgenre and I will definitely be picking up more.
