corar 's review for:
The Murders of Molly Southbourne
by Tade Thompson
This novella was about a girl with an usual problem, every time she bled a doppelganger was created and it was intent on killing her. Although how this worked was never explained, the author did an excellent job exploring the problems that this would create (for example, what happened when the girl got her first period). There was a lot of action (Molly was forced to kill her copies before they killed her) and suspense as the reader wondered how this was going to end. Molly was an interesting character with a lot of depth, the story of how she coped with her condition was suspenseful and interesting. There was a lot of material to analyze for symbolism (What do the Mollys represent? What does it mean that the main character had to keep killing parts of herself to survive?) but it could be enjoyed even for those who wish to read it at face value. I definitely recommend it to those that enjoy horror and suspense.
