Stunning! A literary fiction-horror-historical-naturalist journey with Groff’s signature poetic prose. Absolutely stunning.
Listened to the audio book and the narration was really great!!
Trigger Warning: All of them. Every single one. Whichever one popped into your head just now… yes, that’s in there. But it's not gratuitous, it's all important to the main character's development, and it's handled with respect.
