A review by vixenreader
Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones

challenging dark emotional mysterious sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

An example of a great author’s early book, this book is a flawed, but vibe coming-of-age story about the cycle of intergenerational trauma and toxicity.
