What an absolute delight. I devoured Wranglestone in a single rainy Sunday while feeling under the weather and having a sofa day - and I think that’s the best way to read this. It feels like a soothing balm to an aching soul. It’s a warm blanket in front of a fire, it’s being inside while it snows outside, it’s sweet and tentative yet tense and mysterious. This isn’t an adult horror, it’s not a cinematic blockbuster with a huge budget and a plethora of content warnings. It’s a soft, tender, YA exploration of what it means to be alive with a genuinely interesting story about a post-outbreak world filled with zombies.
