A review by millawi
Dirty Heads by Aaron Dries
4.5
This would have been a 5 star read if it weren't for the monster's perspective. Those passages became repetitive and pretentious. To some extent I get that's kind of point, but it was a bit overdone. They still added to the story and overall setting, but they could have been better.
As for the rest of the book: amazing! Just the right amount of gore to get the point across, effective imagery and beautiful language. Things in the story make sense even when the events themselves are absurd.
"It's infuriating how people can read the hurt in me at a distance, tracing the rise and fall of my scars with eyes that won't meet my own."
