B.R. Yeager’s

hallucinatory novel

Negative Space

exceeded expectations

and expectations

(like the characters

in this book)

were high.

I kept expecting

to cough up

spider webs,

black ink,

gasoline, blood.

I haven't read much

horror fiction, but if

other novels

read as breezily

and hypnotically

as this one, then

it looks like

I found a new

favorite genre.
