A review by therivingtonreader
Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon
4.0
"All this time she'd thought death was coming for her, but perhaps it was she who was death coming for everyone else."
This was a very unique and horrifying story, both in the way of body horror and in the way of mistreatment of black people in the US. I found myself really rooting for Vern as she found herself throughout the course of this book, and the fungus-taking-over aspect was equally scary and intriguing. This is my first of Rivers Solomon's books, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for more from now on.
