A brutal and horrifying book encapsulating the reality of the pandemic whilst telling a tale of the supernatural; this book was a frank look at society during the pandemic from the rampant anti-asian racism to the loneliness of having no one during a global pandemic. Kylie Lee Baker handles all these topic with nuance and realism that makes this story truly heartbreaking.
