We Are Monsters by Brian Kirk
4.0
Thank you Netgalley, Flame Tree Press and Brian Kirk for allowing me to read this advance copy in exchange for an honest review
Honestly, I didn't know what the heck to expect. I saw the words asylum and horror and stopped reading the synopsis from there. Well, first let me say I'm not a big fan of dystopian or any zombie kind of books/movies. Second let me say, this book just may have changed my mind!
The author took his time and developed the characters in a way that made you care about them. The patients are not always the one that have "issues" in an asylum. The very ones taking care of them may have much more serious things that are hidden away in their subconscious.
This book to me was more than just a horror or dystopian theme. It makes you think that not all monsters are make believe. We all have a little monster in us, it's just how we choose to live our lives and deal with those monsters that make us who we are.
Well done Mr. Kirk, you converted me :)
