Book Summary.
The Library at Hellebore
Cassandra Khaw
Attention…THE SHOP is open! Check it out for handmade goods straight from my studio to your home.
Welcome to THE LIBRARY AT HELLEBORE. The students who are left are barricaded in the library, aware of their mortality. Make the wrong move and they’ll end up like Randy or Sue, left to be a shriveling mass of unrecognizable viscera.
Dark, fantastical, otherworldly.
If you’re shaking your head, saying you won’t fall for Khaw’s tricks again, I understand.

The Review.
There is a miracle in the madness. Library at Hellebore is a fever dream, like all the rest of Khaw’s work. A bumpy ride. A freakish amalgamation of things that are horrifying and weird, and awkward.
I love reading these kinds of books in a particular way. I like to let the words and the story wash over me. Whatever is left once the wave recedes is meant for me. I don’t try to hold onto every detail, I don’t try to remember every aspect of a character’s nature, I’m not even trying to piece together the story. I just allow it.
You may take nothing away from the book except anxiety, nightmares, and a feeling of doom. The writing is unpredictable. Making every kill feel like it’s appearing magically out of thin air. As soon as you figure out what’s next…it’s over.
Until next time, Khaw. I’ll be waiting!
