Ok, so Percival Everett‘s James may be the BEST book I will read this year, but McDowell‘s Katie could be my favorite. It has everything I could want in an entertainment: melodrama, romance, gore, humor, revenge. There‘s a boarding house of young women that reminds me of Stage Door, a Pride&Prejudice style romance, and of course, the psycho psychic Katie, terrifying in her brutality, stupidity, and love of blunt force trauma. Loved it. 🔨 🩸 💰

Just when Philo‘s plight was becoming unbearable, McDowell really introduces us to the Slapes and damn if I don‘t like them (or at least, reading about them!). They may be dumb as bricks (I love the way he writes their dialogue) and mean, but there‘s something endearing about their love of theater and unambitious pleasures.

“Hasn‘t the sense of a creeping baby” is a phrase I want to work into conversation.

Finally kicking off scary October reads with this gory gem!

Velvetsun How is it? Reading The Elementals now, and really enjoying it. Considering another Mcdowell book and this one sounds interesting. 7y
respekt1111 @Velvetsun Katie is pretty good. I also just read The Amulet by McDowell and that was great! Both books are gruesome and compulsive readable! 7y
