I was first introduced to Margaret Killjoy on the "Behind the Bastards" podcast, but I hadn't read any of her books until now. This is fantastic! It's a really quick read, it took me maybe 3 hours. There's communism, body horror and shitty men! Ms. Killjoy excels in painting the scene with words; I really felt like I could see Freedom, Iowa.

A fun and suspenseful little book, set in a small anarchist community with a very interesting magical being tied to it, a deer with three antlers who is

suprisingly violent compared to what you would expect of a deer.
