Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
4.0

Wow. This book was a beautiful and grotesque experience. It's not horror in the sense of being scary or feeling dread - instead there are unusual and sometimes shocking situations described in a very well-written autobiographical tone. Themes of family, empathy, being "normal," and power struggles. Several scenes will stay with me for a long time, highly recommended if the description sounds good to you!
