I was first introduced to Margaret Killjoy on the "Behind the Bastards" podcast, but I hadn't read any of her books until now. This is fantastic! It's a really quick read, it took me maybe 3 hours. There's communism, body horror and shitty men! Ms. Killjoy excels in painting the scene with words; I really felt like I could see Freedom, Iowa.

An peek through the looking glass into a truly anarchistic town that's watched over by a magical, endless spirit. Even though this is a short novella, I will be thinking about Freedom, Iowa for months to come.
