The Cipher
This was a weird one, probably would have made a better novella but I still really enjoyed it. The book has generally a very dark atmosphere throughout. Most of the characters are very unlikeable. I enjoyed the cosmic/body horror aesthetics of it and I would definitely try more of Koja’s horror works in the future.
The ebook version is let down by typos and formatting errors throughout which is a shame. Would have been a 4 star if not for the lazy ebook release.
