Such a unique book, a wonderful little allegory about power, corruption, anarchy, humanity and friendship. I love Margaret's music so I was very happy that I loved her writing too. Also, this could work wonders as a mini-series.

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.

A fast, quick, thought-provoking, and enjoyable read. Alex Brown at Tor aptly describes it as “The story is part rural fantasy, part dark fantasy, and part horror. Think Supernatural but darker and queerer.” Danielle Cain is a glorious new anarchist, a vagabond traveler who travels through barely future united states to an anarchist squatter com­munity called Freedom after her friend Clay fled and committed suicide to work out why.  

On top of all the troubles, such a terrible world holds the town of Freedom reveals a terrifying protector spirit — in the form of a blood-red, three-antlered deer — turning on its summoners. In a fantastic world, Danielle observes "Its strange how quickly it's normal there being magic in the world. It's strange how little it changes who we are as people.
