This is an intense read with an increasing sense of unease as more and more of the truth is revealed. It will appeal to readers interested in exploring childhood trauma, secrets, and their long-term effects as in Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey or The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher.
An easy read with genuinely creepy scares, this is a good addition to libraries that are interested in quality small-press horror. Great companion books would be The Rack, a short-story collection edited by Tom Deady, and Living in Cemeteries by Corey Farrenkopf, which both offer pulp horror sensibilities and extremely palatable style.
This might not be for those who prefer their horror to have a certain amount of creatures or carnage, but it’s a must read for readers looking to explore human evil through fiction.
Fans of the movie Poltergeist (or fans of horror featuring child protagonists) will be sucked into Bela’s story, wondering if she makes it through with her heart intact. For fans of Zoje Stage’s Baby Teeth.
Medina explores how generational trauma takes root in a family and on a reservation. Much like Indigenous horror writers Stephen Graham Jones and Erika T. Wurth, Medina demonstrates how to write a story with both horror and heart.
