The Seep

This is a strong novel, yet not necessarily defined by a single genre. In fact, Porter brings a type of novel I haven't yet read to the table, and for that I admire her. The protag. is a Native American trans woman - which you don't usually see in fiction regardless of genre - and the writing and plot, though different from the usual fantasy books I find myself drawn to, had me mulling over the pages as it explored grief and deep emotion that we tend to turn away from. If you want a different, yet emotional read, I would recommend The Seep. Yes, it's strange at parts, and yes, there is no defining it, but that's what makes it refreshing and emotional.
