The Spirit Bears It’s Teeth is a triumph. After reading Hell Followed With Us, an incredible book that ticked every box for me, I just knew I had to get my hands The Spirit Bears It’s Teeth. So when I got ahold of an ARC, I absolutely devoured it. The Spirit Bears It’s Teeth is a gorgeous story about a young autistic trans man named Silas. His story is told with metaphors of medical horror while also perfectly capturing the horror of growing into yourself in a world that wants nothing to do with you. This book is one of the best I’ve read and I can’t wait to see what Andrew Joseph White does next.
