I’m tempted to leave the review there, but I should probably say more.
This is like if Interview with a Vampire was also a revenge story set in the western frontier. I normally call this subgenre of horror “Good For Her” but for Good Stab, I’ll make an exception and call this “Good For Him.” Good Stab’s voice is poetic and sorrowful and burns on the page. Arthur Beaucarne is infuriating to read the perspective of, but that’s the whole point.
There are so many takes on the vampire throughout fiction, but this is one that I’ve never seen done before. In a heavily populated subgenre, that’s impressive.
The gore was so gruesome and fantastical that each mutilation scene had me thinking that surely this would be the extent. But it just kept coming.
I understand WHY Etsy’s perspective was added in, though I was a little perplexed by her motivations.
I’ll be following this author’s work closely from here on out.
Stephen Graham Jones, I listen with a good heart.
