A riveting gothic novel that exposes the true to life horrors of systematic oppression and covered up injustices. With beguiling, atmospheric language that slowly builds discomfort and dread, this novel is not only an impactful ghost story, but an unfortunately recognizable social horror that can be found in contemporary lgbtq and feminist issues. From medical abuse to the personal and institutional ways that people are made to feel monstrous for living authentically, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth is a deeply relatable portrayal of fighting to live one’s truth amongst a society that will do anything to force people into premade boxes. Horror aside, this is also a love story; it is a tale of self love, of finding love and family in unexpected places, a love of pursuing passions and breaking free of past trauma. Sharp, honest, and a lore filled interpretation of a history that closely mirrors the present.
