I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me by Jamison Shea

3.5

One the things that draws me to horror, and almost exclusively to horror by BIPOC authors, is that horror can tell the truth in a way that "just" the truth can't. The author succeeds in this book to capture the way in which microsggressions (macro aggressions) in an unfair system cause spite that ferments into resentment and then burning rage. While the main character isn't "nice," she's sympathetic and I wanted to root for her, especially because her "best" friend is sadly reminiscent of far too many self-described allies who seem like friends but prove eventually not to be.
