The Library at Mount Char

by Scott Hawkins

Our rating

Spice 1/5 Darkness 5/5

Spice: barely any. Darkness: extremely dark.

Carolyn and her adopted siblings were raised by a godlike man called Father, who taught each of them one catalog of forbidden knowledge and punished them horribly. Now Father is missing. Go in blind. It's deeply strange, very upsetting and weirdly funny.
