I have been waiting to read this author's work since I first heard it was to be released by Tordotcom. I am so grateful to have received a copy through NetGalley. I read it in one setting—it was impossible to put down.

The prose is lyrical, incredible—perfect. A beautiful and strange coming-of-age story about a boy and his dog, From the moment the grandfather shows up, you know something bad is coming. The tension threaded into every page is palpable and perfectly crafted. And the dog. Oh, how I loved that dog.

What a heartbreaking, horrifying, and incredibly beautiful story.

I requested a digital copy in order to sample the prose on my phone (since I don't have a eReader) before requesting a physical copy for review. My review will be based on the physical ARC I read (if I qualify)
