Mandelo, Lee

Supported by Mandelo’s (Summer Sons) characteristic, melancholic prose, this novella may not be for every reader, but it will appeal to those who appreciate delving into thorny ethical dilemmas and will make readers consider their own beliefs regarding ethics, research, technology, and relationships.

A great choice for readers who enjoy thought-provoking and engaging horror that asks its protagonists to come to terms with the monsters, both literal and metaphorical, in their past (such as Sam J. Miller’s The Blade Between or Cynthia Pelayo’s Children of Chicago). Also a good option for fans of dark academic thrillers, like Donna Tartt’s The Secret History.
