I started out reading this to fulfill a bingo square for my spooky season reading challenge, but got a lot more than I bargained for. I think I missed some nuances due to being a gen-z american reader from a christian background, but I really enjoyed how the author wove everyday life and horror with supernatural/religious/magical realism elements. this book seemed to work in a patchwork, much like the "frankenstein" of the title - we see the same events viewed through the eyes of different characters, and jump back and forth through time around the same incidents. this was also one of my book riot challenges for this year (a book originally published in a language other than english), and this and some of the other challenges have pushed me to read more non-western titles this year. I definitely want to continue this going forward, especially if they'll be as thought-provoking as this novel.
