A review by sightthefae
Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova

4.0

“Was I expected to find solace in these people? I felt alone, perfectly alone. So alone I felt divine. Divine like a lonely god unfathomable to anybody but herself.”

Starting off strong with the depictions of grief and how horror can be born from grief but slipping back and forth between that and tenderness. Humanity creates and then rejects. Monstrilio a monster but not of his own devices, and incredibly endearing. The empathy and love shown to M makes you want to shield him yourself.
