Wild Spaces by S.L. Coney

dark emotional tense medium-paced

4.0

Hauntingly beautiful story of unwanted change and family secrets. Coney is incredible at setting the scene and reminds me of Steinbeck- but if the topic was horror cryptids. My heart ached for The Boy, thoroughly despised Grandpa, worried for Mom and Dad, and completely adored Teach
... and shattered into a million pieces as well
.

I was not expecting a deeply emotional experience from this novella. But that's exactly what is delivered. There's an allegory here I can't quite put my finger on, but feels familiar.
