I'm reading this because it's the shortest book I could find that fits the Pirates square on hard mode for r/fantasy bingo. It is not something I would ever choose to read for myself. That being said, it's just okay so far - which is better than expected.

Vent Alert:
Pardon me by what TF do bigots use the word dog as a slur or form of derision? It's all over this book. Dogs are the sweetest, most loyal, serotonin boosting healing creatures to ever befriend our forsaken murderous species. Dog spelled backwards is god...hello, a gift no? Urgh I just get annoyed at that. Like pick something else like like. I dunno,cactus? 

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

So help me if this doesn't end in unbridled VENGEANCE Imma be pissed 😡

Ya'll know that meme with the killer clown "It" in the sewer drain tryna catch a kid? Yeah okay If It told me there were books with gorgeous covers down there I'd be knee-deep in that lair clown/interdimensional being be damned. I am anti-clown except for Fizzbo
Just saying - this cover is a whole vibe.

Also LOVE the African-Diaspora take on a quasi gothic-scifi-Horror vampiric treat.
