Blood Is Another Word for Hunger by Rivers Solomon
5.0
Blood is Another Word for Hunger was nominated for an 2020 Hugo Award in the Short Story category.
Sully a young slave girl exacts revenge on her masters, a family of 5. The spirit world sees an opening and seeps in making their way into Sully's life.
This story was beautifully written and just the right amount of spooky. It was dark as one would expect from a short story about someone conducting acts of violence.
" All they knew was how to bleed something for all it was worth. What must it be like to live life when every interaction included the question, How much value can I extract from this?"
