Cosmic horror, existential dread, bugs, and dark humor wrapped in a nice little package, with a filament bow. This is definitely one of the most bizarre books I have read in a long time, and I was so here for the wild ride.
A body snatcher-esque story with chaotic writing in the best way, it's easy to say it kept me fully immersed. I would read a whole series about the mirror people, they are so strange and interesting, this story left me wanting to do a deep dive into them. Underneath the unsettling, squelchy body horror really is an emotional story that touches on bodily autonomy, identity, and the push and pull of balance of humanity and inhumanity.
I'm already looking into more stories by Drew Huff.
Thank you to Drew Huff and NetGalley for the ARC copy!
