Consumption by Jae Mazer is a dark blend of psychological horror and folk horror. It is brilliant and flowing and transcends its synopsis.
Jae has created frighteningly realistic characters and scenarios within her folk horror tale that will bring everything you think you know into question. The natural and supernatural elements of the story blend seamlessly, creating and engaging and compelling tale. I was struck by the emotion-evoking quality of both the characters and the writing.
The folklore premise in Consumption contains some extreme aspects of horror fiction not always found in folk horror, but these aspects are presented fluidly, without shocking level of graphic gore found in extreme horror and Splatterpunk stories. The result is impactful and emotionally horrifying. I love this story, even though and because it stayed with me and affected my dreams for days. The nightmares were unwelcome and disturbing, but that is a compliment to the author.
This story has wide appeal, and I recommend it as a great read for fans of dark fantasy/urban fantasy horror, folk horror, psychological horror, and supernatural horror as well as general horror fans. A shelf-worthy book for your horror library.
