Sister, Maiden, Monster is a gory and unsettling tale exploring the nightmarish means that humanity will go to save itself. This book is equal parts a wtf did I just read, wild disgusting ride and a stellar commentary on the terrors of surveillance and control that feel all too real in today’s world.
