A review by zoelzebub
Earthlings by Sayaka Murata

5.0

I don’t know how to adequately rate this book. I can’t decide if I hate it, am impressed by it, or am just in shock.

The best way I can describe this without spoilers is that it starts with a trauma based coming of age vibe with questions of conformity. It then quickly spirals into an “Appalachian Mountains reimagined by a Japanese horror novelist” story.

I see this becoming a well known cult classic for any avid horror reader.

Wow.
