*Mind the content warnings!*
I loved Sorcerer of the Wildeeps, so seeing Kai Ashante Wilson's writing style paired with horror is such a treat. Truly one of my top authors to look out for right now.
This can be a tough one if you're someone who hates non-linear storytelling, but I especially like that for horror. The mix of magic and historical events worked really well, especially for this theme of the loss of generational stories and how that harms the community. I get very existential about cultural loss ALOT, so this itched something.
The cherry on top is the dad's notes throughout the story, especially his suggestions/edits. I loved that touch so much.
