'A truly disturbing and disconcerting horror novel that draws on what came before only to push its transgression further.'

A great review of Jawbone by @MonaOjedaF, trans. Sarah Booker, in @TheFantasyHive from @JonathanThornt2!!

'@MonaOjedaF's teenage girls are told that they’re irrational,baffling, even monstrous. Her characters don’t apologize for the urges they can’t explain or the bodily changes they can’t understand. Rather they turn this inscrutability into a form of power'
