Lakewood by Megan Giddings

4.0

really solid 4 stars, maybe more — once again, horror by women of colour is simply worlds above that by random white men (looking at u, King and Joe Hill.) the way horror like this, maybe comparable to When No One is Watching or anything by Carmen Maria Muchado, ties into real life and real corruption and fear is simply so wonderful and jarring. I’m surprised I haven’t seen more hype around this book, honestly. If you like horror that is a little too close to real life for comfort, human experimentation, derealization, and a touch of body horror as a treat, give this novel a shot!
