“Bleak but heartbreakingly beautiful” - I’ll take it.

I’d seen this review of Lamb on NetGalley and Goodreads, but didn’t realize the reviewer Reading.Ghost had posted the review on Instagram as well, until today.

I love the little graphic treatment they produced for it…

"For almost twenty years since that terse notice, I’ve never really known what happened to Lamb ... Now I’m haunted by the image slowly coming into focus, like finding a box full of twenty-year-old undeveloped film and finally seeing the pictures for the first time."
