Susan Barker: Old Soul

The woman never goes by the same name. She never stays in the same place …

Not your usual horror fare

Horror is not my favorite genre. I only picked up this book because I had read some good reviews. And it was great. Even without the horror thing, the book could stand as a great novel. It follows a woman who seems to leave a trail of dead former partners across decades (centuries) without aging herself. The childhood friend of one of her victims starts piecing it all together. So the book takes largely the form of a series of testimonials from people related to the victims. Mini-narratives. And they're brilliant. I could not put this book down. #books #bookstodon Highly recommended.
