This collection from @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social @rdspress.bsky.social -incredible. Each story reveals a different kind of female rage & terror. Set in different places & times, readers will tear through the book, coming up for air, breathless & terrified but looking for more Kiste. All the stars.

That’s my Booklist quote and I cannot stress enough how much you need to read this book. Every. Single. One. Of. You. My full review will be in the February 2026 issue.
/// PARTIALLY DEVOURED \\\

It's sorta about "Night of the Living Dead."

It's sorta about *everything.*
