Lavalle crafts a hauntingly beautiful tale where the supernatural is inextricably linked to systemic injustice. The prose is lush yet unsettling, effectively building tension as Charles Thomas Tester navigates a world where magic is both a refuge and a trap. The novel excels in its character work, making the protagonist’s journey feel personal and urgent amidst the vast, indifferent cosmos. It suits readers who appreciate literary horror that does not shy away from difficult historical realities, offering a sophisticated blend of gothic atmosphere and sharp social commentary that lingers long after the final page.
