'Shesheshen liked priests. They tasted righteous.'

A gruesome, fairy tale-like fantasy with a sweet and gentle love story. An oddly endearing shape-shifting monster is looking to lay her eggs when she finds love in Homily, a human girl. My favorite thing is the way Shesheshen absorbs things into her body, jello mold style, like wood, bear traps, and human bones. 

'Like smothering a victim, comforting was easier to do with a good grip.'
