Comfort Me with Apples by Catherynne M. Valente

dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.5

OH MY GOD, this was incredible. The unsettling vibes and understated yet disturbing-as-fuck horror elements are completely on point, and the twist is the absolute best kind where I didn't see it coming at all and yet it's so entirely obvious in retrospect. I don't want to say much more, as this is a short, unhinged book that it's definitely best to go into as blind as possible - but be warned, it may well forever destroy your faith in humanity. It's certainly a story that's going to haunt me probably forever.
