History and horror go hand-in-hand and Alma Katsu always manages to blend them together expertly. The parallel between the historical events in the book and the past two years in the U.S. made this a deeply unsettling read. If you love horror - especially the way the genre holds a mirror up to societal and cultural fears - you'll eat this up!
