The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
I really wanted to like this one but I think it just isn't for me. It left me feeling kind of sad and gross whenever I would listen to the audiobook, and not in a good way.
I've heard it compared to This Thing Between Us, and I can see the similarities in how it explores grief, but it didn't have that same feeling of cosmic horror.
I do appreciate the themes of this book and the writing. I just don't particularly like the heavy feeling of it. I may go back to this at some other point in time.
