Date Read: March 7
Author: Lauren Beukes
Genre: Horror
Rating: 4/5
While it starts out as a crime novel, Broken Monsters quickly shifts into the paranormal horror category. It could have used more exploration of what was happening, even if the events were intended to be mysterious, but overall the book achieved its goal of a creepy story.
People don’t want novelty – they want the reassurance of familiarity. No one wants to be challenged, no one wants to have their minds blown. There is an insatiable appetite for affirmation.
