As a huge fan of “The Honeys,” I was so excited to see that LaSala has another spooky psychedelic horror book out! The cover art was an incredible touch that immediately drew me in. I was not disappointed.
For fans of “The Honey’s,” this one is less kaleidoscope-y, but still colored in rainbows. (if that even makes sense at all)?
Its still supernatural, just in a different way. “The Honey’s” was a kind of horror that I can only describe as ‘glittery.’ “Beholder” is more of an artsy occult vibe. (And i loved it)!
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in:
- mirrors / reflections / rainbows
- unconventional horror monsters
- queer YA stories
- secret art collector cults that do their business in tunnels deep below NYC
Don’t read if you aren’t a fan of
- eldritch beings
- spiders
- eldritch beings that are spiders
