A review by williamc
Lucretia and the Kroons by Victor LaValle

4.0

A short, eerie story that could be as straightforward of a horror novel as you could ask for, or one that could serve as a dark lens through a young person's view on cancer. Or it could be m0re. As with the horror-as-parable of the films Us and Get Out, LaValle's choices for location, scenery, and characters might be hinting at something more -- but whatever its underlayer, Lucretia is a strange, creepy journey of friend rescuing friend. However deep you want to go into this dark novella, the rewards are there to be found.
