Earthlings by Sayaka Murata

challenging dark mysterious sad medium-paced

4.0

This was a lot. It was well written and even though it was distressing to read it was also fascinating with sharp social criticisms. The disassociated perspective of the main character creates a surreal story that has an almost cozy vibe. Cozy horror? If I’d read the trigger warnings beforehand I would never have started this book. I think it’s a testament to the skill of the author that I don’t regret reading it.
