A review by declaired
Dr. Franklin's Island by Ann Halam

5.0

shelving it under queer leads may be a bit questionable, as Semi and Miranda can be read simply as a very strong female friendship. but their relationship is hella strong and wonderful.

the fiction that gave me a great fear of the word vivisection

Reread because I started talking with someone about how this was formative literature and then I had a small bout of insomnia; so naturally I binge-read the closest I get to horror stories. anyway semi and miranda are monster girls in love and i want to be a manta ray.
