This was interesting. I wasn’t expecting the level of magic that was ultimately in this story, and while the text was quite dense, it managed to paint a story that was still somewhat grounded in the horror of the Eastern European pogroms.
There’s a little bit of this that doesn’t quite land - it’s overlong, the strongest parts are Baba Yaga’s story by a longshot, though I honestly did love “girl animates a cemetery stone to life and they’re lesbians about it” - but it’s worth checking out.

Graphic: Death
Moderate: Genocide and Antisemitism
