WOOOOW. What a wild ride of a book. I knew this was gonna be some really great wacky trans horror, because Andrew Joseph White excels at that kind of thing, and this book did NOT disappoint. This was the kind of book that was so utterly visceral in a way that kept me turning the page. I’m a trans man. The amount of secondhand dysphoria this book gave me, woweeee. And that sounds like it should be a detractor, but it’s not, because AJW knows how to write the trans experience in such an exceptional and real way that even though Crane was going through things I will never in my life experience (cults, pregnancy, all that blood and gore and trauma) I could still see so perfectly into his perspective.

And his note about his own experience as a trans man in his acknowledgments made me tear up a bit. AJW, I get it. I get it, so much. White is out here writing stories that amplify the voices of transmasc folks. Thank you. You signed my copy of Hell Followed With Us at a pride event a few years ago, and I hope I can meet you again someday so you can sign this book, too. You’ve quickly climbed the ranks and have solidified yourself as a favorite author.

Fantastic book. Wild book. Wacky, visceral, disturbing book. I’m very emotional about it. 10/10.
