Shesheshen is an amorphous lump who lives at the bottom of a pool in an abandoned house, hibernates during the winter, and occasionally shapeshifts into something vaguely humanoid, wanders down to the village, and eats people. Only apparently bad people, but I guess you can’t make the carnivorous monster who is the lead of your book unsympathetic by having them eat an orphan or an old lady or a kitten or a puppy or something like that. All goes well until the day hunters […]
“All Shesheshen could do for Homily was be patient with her, and make space for her, and eventually, one day behind her back, eat her mother.”
