From the few Tremblay works I’ve read, one thing is clear: this evil, evil man loves nothing more than to write the most intimate, dreamlike, and devastating depictions of loss imaginable. Survivor Song’s characters feel so real you could touch them, making it all the more easy to cry and hope against hope for them. Pair that with some of the most visceral gore I’ve ever read? I will never be the same.

I really liked this book. It’s a bit like every zombie film out there, but there’s hope in this one which I like. I genuinely cared for all the characters, and I cried a lot.
It’s not the most mind blowing but I liked it enough to cry when sad things happened, which doesn’t happen with badly written books.
Sassafras and lullabies.
