Great, tense, dark, gory little thing. I loved it and the queerness of the story was so well-implemented and historically researched that I wasn't brought out of it like I often am by queer period stories.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this, honestly. It was so short that I picked it up and I thought “oh boy, this is going to be rough.” In reality, it was fast as fuck and so emotionally visceral I was stunned at how much I liked it.
Contains spoilers
Hmm. Logically right up my alley: horror, queer people, Appalachia...Missed the mark a bit for reasons spoilered below. But that's a me thing.
I do not enjoy graphic sex scenes. Or any kind, really. I skipped both: you can definitely skip the first one with no issues; for the second, read the start of it. Still a great book, I was just not expecting pages of sex.
Beautiful prose! The perspective is very close--you can really feel yourself as Leslie, moving through the town.
Score breakdown:
Objective-ish quality: 4.5 (counted twice)
My enjoyment: 3
((4.5 x 2) + 3) /3 = 4
