Broken Monsters

Broken Monsters is another of Lauren Beukes's novels that fall outside of my usual favorite genres (SFF). Like Shining Girls, it is a horror and thriller about a supernatural-tinged serial killer, but the many viewpoint characters and separate storylines reminded me a little of the style of Moxyland. The post-collapse city of Detroit and its culture plays a large role in the story, and the usage of communication technology feels very contemporary and accurate. I really enjoyed the role social media, art and ideas of perception vs. intent played throughout various plotlines. In the end, I thought this novel was excellent, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of story Beukes will write next!
