This was a ARC I got from Booksprout, I rated this 3.75 but that is just my personal opinion, I did like it but it was a little bit confusing and the ending I didn't get, but what I enjoyed was the relationship between Nandini Rajan and her mother Aruna a woman who loves pulpy comics from her home country and does curling, Nandini has a complex feelings about her mother, also feeling dissatisfied that her career in Toronto fell apart and she back in Fredericton, New Brunswick working a dead end office job and dealing with rejection of her poetry.a death in the woods leads to a mention of a local urban legend Sally Pencilneck, a figure who is said to kill men with nunchucks and destroying their cocks, Aruna pestering her daughter to go to the woods as she fascated with horror. Nandini takes her mother mostly in anger, what she doesn't expect is Sally to show up and it turns out she kills anyone who thinks dirty thoughts; now mother and daughter are fighting to survive with the help of a survivor from Sally's last attack, also happening is international sexual pervert meeting and the descriptions of the those attending is easy to tell who they were alluding too, why I put a toupee image to allude to a certain perverted orange guy. This came out 13th of March and if you like absurdist, comedic horror this might be for you.
