This is why I love Stephen Graham Jones so much. He wove an incredibly interesting, thought-provoking story surrounding grief, the past, and the future with some type of bizarre Eldritch horror that felt both disjointed and so wholly connected to and with the story that I couldn't stop reading.

I devoured this story, and when it was finished, I wanted more.
