A review by latebutcoming
The Cipher by Kathe Koja

5.0

imagine sitting down and writing your first book and it's this. lots of little inklings of what was to come with Skin, i definitely think of them as like cousins in a way. bitter but juicy and blow-torched by unbelievable prose. horror is plagued by mediocre-to-unreadable writing and it boils my blood when i see people group kathe in with "splatterpunk" writers like fucking jack ketchum?? or wrath james white??? like are y'all actually that stupid or are you just trying to make me personally upset? in my head the funhole adds :3 every time it says 'love you'
