Utterly fascinating.
Utterly fascinating.
I got this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion via NetGalley.
This was my first Rachel Harrison novel, and it certainly won‘t be my last.
I devoured this book. I‘ve read my share of cult style horror, but this is by far the best one…

I‘m so sad. Our local B&N just announced it‘s closing April 2 due to the landlord not renewing their lease. Instead, it will become a gym. Word is, B&N is actively looking for a new location. We‘ll see.

This was a fun take on the “prodical child” trope, and I particularly loved the reveal of exactly what beliefs Vesper did not share with her family and how Harrison incorporated appropriate symbolism without falling into cliché.
Black Sheep was the perfect answer to my book hangover that Rosemary‘s Baby caused. Honestly, it had some of the same vibes as Rosemary‘s Baby. and I enjoyed that immensely. I‘m not going too deep into this because I think you need to go in without expecting anything.This book was perfection. And I‘m afraid to admit it but I might have liked it even better than Cackle.

I think they call that surrealist? Experimental. Tidbits of sci-fi and horror but also much searching for family/identity. Vintage adventure story/comic art style, largely set in previous decades, starting with the '60s. Lots of rambling introspection. Not my vibe.
