Dread-inducing. Bazterrica knows how to craft a story that keeps you on edge. Her narrators are always so untrustworthy, leaving the reader unsure what information is being withheld and what information is only half-true. This horror novel, featuring cultish nuns in the midst of a post-climate apocalypse, leaves a lot to reflect on.
