BRAT: A Ghost Story by Gabriel Smith

5.0

Where to begin with this book. There is such a mix of surrealism, gritty and at times gross prose. I loved it. 

I loved the journey of this book, it kept you moving through with the pace, had a really interesting structure and felt really meta with the layers of storytelling and writing within the writing. 

I had visceral reactions to parts (the leg 😨) and there was this ominous foreboding throughout the book. Honestly half the time I was expecting something crazy to happen, and while it's not a happy clappy book, nothing major does happen. It's mundane but also really not (lets face it it's a bizarre whirlwind and if you asked me what the point was I could not tell you).

I really loved the style of this book, the characters are raw and relatable. So, while I can't tell you more, I can recommend that you read this book.
