i listened to the audiobook version and loved it! the narrator‘s voice did a great job at immersing me into the story.
a mix of psychological horror and a bit of body horror. gets tenser and more on edge with every word. it is also a great exploration of generational and cultural trauma.
will never look at an elk the same way
A beautiful portrait of the land I love in the American west, pitted against all ill and evil man can do. Really engaging set pieces, some of the best descriptions I’ve read, sprawling prose. The worst parts of being a man amidst beautiful and unforgiving country. Side note if you meet someone who says this book is “awesome”, run quickly.
“Alone in the empty shell of a house the squatter watched through the moteblown glass a rimshard of bonecolored moon come cradling up over the black balsams on the ridge, ink trees a facile hand sketched against the paler dark of winter heavens”
