Grey Dog by Elliott Gish is my favorite horror I've read this year for sure!!! It's one of those books that's so up my alley and has so many things I love that it feels like it was handcrafted for me personally >:^) I really recommend it if you like historical horror, especially with natural themes. Plus just look at this cover!!!

Also it felt like a perfect blend of the songs Gigantomachy by cake bake betty and animal fear by marika hackman in case anyone has the same exact music taste as me

Queer rage, female rage, feral rage

I love Elliott Gish's Grey Dog. It is very hard, as a queer afab educator, not to identify with the protagonist Ada Bird as she blunders her way through the mystery of her predecessor. Her uncomfortable yet affirmed feelings towards the secondary character Agatha, the minster's wife, make for a road worth walking. Set in the early 1900s, Ada finds herself in a secluded village attempting to teach the village children at an old school house. Through multiple reviews and observations, Ada finds herself again bare to the wolves out to skin her. Ready to cannibalise her insecurities and improper thoughts. Though prayer may be one answer, and seeking comfort in sin another, Ada can't help become prey to the Grey Dog. Always watching. Speaking in soft growls, as distinct as a faint wind at first.

A beautiful book discovering female sexuality and female rage. Worth a read. Definitely a queer masterpiece.
