Craft is a tough one to rate and review because I had a great time with it, and I can also see that this may have trouble finding its audience. 

For starters, it's not that this book isn't horror, because I can see how it is in some of the stories (though certainly not all). Most typical horror fans will likely be bored, confused, or let down. Not a lot happens in these stories, the devil isn't the source of the horror in any way, and most of the tension comes from things like microaggressions, the hovering presence of ICE, or interactions between characters that are not quite meeting each other. 

Still, this isn't quite literary fiction, it isn't quite fantasy; it's probably accurate to use the term surrealist, but that isn't exactly a clear genre.

All of that said, I had a lot of fun with this weird little collection. The writing is lovely, I like the aimlessness, and I really liked that there is a through line, but you aren't always sure when you're going to come back to it. My absolute favorite section was the collection of feedback from the writing group. Maybe that's because of my own experiences in various writing groups, but I found it both funny and revealing, and honestly, that's its own type of horror to me -- both the giving and receiving of feedback in those groups can induce nightmares. I also appreciated the discussions of identity and immigration, as well as the general "haunted" vibes, which are hard to articulate but definitely present for me.

I really hope that the folks who are drawn to this give it a try. If it's not for you, it's not for you, but when this hits for folks, it can really hit.
