It was definitely a good October read! I'm not a horror reader, but I'm trying to get more into it and this book really scared me, both in storytelling and art. It was also really nice to see Nigerian mythology in a story; I haven't seen that as much, but it's really interesting! I did feel like the story was rushed and the ending didn't make much sense to me. It also didn't make sense to me why the protagonist is a cop. I like Nnedi Okorafor's storytelling and I think I'd like her full novels more.
