We Are All Completely Fine by Daryl
Gregory
Five victims are brought together by
a psychologist specializing in recovery after traumatic events. Her patients are not your typical victims of
violent crime. Each feels unique and
isolated, yet she brings this group together to help one another heal through
the similarities in their experiences.
These people have been through a lot, one was kidnapped and mutilated by
cannibals, and another had her bones scrimshawed. (Think about that last one for a bit and try
not to shudder.) But by bringing these
singular victims together will the other that has touched them reach out again?
This is a great quick read (less
than 200 pages!) to get you in the mood for Halloween. Spooky and creepy, yet it’s a really interesting
dynamic between the characters at group.
Lots of twists and turns and jumps keep you guessing what will happen
next. Very much set in a Lovecraft universe
with touches of Cthulhu’s tentacles even though he who must not be named is
never actually mentioned.
