Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor

4.5

---

This was great - a blend of horror, crime, and folklore, written in an enthralling, colloquial, stream of consciousness. It’s ultimately a book about evil and violence, reflecting a deeply rotten society, and at times it’s difficult reading, but there are also glimmers of beauty, of closeted desire rarely captured in such a raw way. Very excited to read more of Melchor’s work in the future.
