I really liked the pacing of this book. I haven’t read much horror, but this book definitely had me scared and on edge for the majority. The only thing I had trouble with was keeping track of where we are in the timeline of events. There are a few times where the past is being recalled while there is a present conversation and it was had to distinguish and I got a bit confused. Overall, a really unique book and definitely worth the read!

I had hoped for more atmospheric spookiness, but found most of the horror was more gore than spook. What it lacked in atmosphere it made up for in very, very detailed accounts basketball and motorcycle repair (both of which are central to the gore at times).

A grisly parable about inter-generational harm, particularly the harm men can do to women without meaning to. It’s a touch gruesome for me and some parts are hard to get through, but the writing style is vivid and really unique. Im not Native American so I’m sure there’s a lot that went over my head and I can’t speak to, but from an outsider perspective I think it was pretty well done!
