Andrew Joseph White’s prose is SO addicting! He really knows how to captivate his audience with scene building and character depictions and developments.
The autism representation is phenomenal, probably the best I’ve ever read. If you’re autistic/neurodivergent, TSBIT will make you feel accurately represented. So many of Silas’ internal thoughts hit close to home, but in a good way.
Please note that this is a VERY gory horror book. It is definitely hard to stomach. There are a lot of trigger warnings that should be kept in mind. Either way, it is a masterpiece that deserves all of the praise!!
