Murderbot is back and is meeting new people. Not its favorite thing to do. This series stays entertaining, even if it isn't an all time favorite for me.

I received an electronic ARC from the publisher through NetGalley.
Carter Keane debuts with their folk horror novella, Morsel. Readers follow Lou as they attempt to navigate the difficulties of grief and existence under capitalism while still needing to report to work each day. When Lou is reassigned to survey land in rural Appalachia and things begin to look a little too Blair Witch Project inspired, it quickly becomes evident that the threat might be physical as well as mental.
Absolutely read content warnings for this work if you are someone who may have concerns.
I read this novella while in the mountains of Appalchia (Great Smokies), so the atmosphere was absolutely on point for my reading experience. I really found myself enjoying Keane's writing style and appreciate the attention to both the message and the gore. One never quite over-balanced the other, which is a blend that appeals to me. The message was not subtle. but capitalism rarely is.
I will look forward to exploring future works by Keane and would be willing to purchase a trophy copy of this novella for my shelf.

Unfortunately, this book simply wasn't for me. I feel strongly that I will like it a lot better as a visual adaptation, so I'm willing to watch it on Netflix still, but not willing to continue this book series. The humor was in line with what I typically like, so I'm not quite sure what happened here.
