Editorial Reviews

Castro’s compelling and immersive novella displays exhilarating talent, and will appeal to fans of both Paul Tremblay’s A Head Full of Ghosts (2015) and Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties (2017).” —ALA Booklist (starred review)

This book is serious and fun, and that combination makes it a must-read for horror fans who want a little something extra, a spicy serving of social commentary, with their monsters, awful deaths, and possessions.” —Gabino Iglesias, Tor Nightfire
