Destiny (howling libraries)
Is this the feeling of being broken? He wonders. Or is it the process of breaking?
I've heard a lot of hype surrounding this novella, and I can certainly see why. It's a gruesome, suspenseful little thing with lots of fangs and pincers (literally and metaphorically), and I really enjoyed it. There's a dark humor to the whole thing, but moments of long-standing generational pain and cynicism are woven throughout it in a way that tugs at your heartstrings. The ending left me reeling a little bit, and I'm probably never going to look at gas station restrooms the same way.
Thank you to the publisher for the gifted copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.

✨ Content warnings for: violence, gore, murder, death, insects, snakes, brief mentions of antisemitism, emotional abuse of a child (flashbacks), religious doubts, brief mentions of cancer and terminal illness
