The Devil Thinks I'm Pretty - Trailer Park Wickedness
I truly love Charlene Elsby. I am also very honoured that she has been willing to send me many of her books directly, this being one of them.
The main character resides in a trailer park and works at a diner while going to school. Her interests are dark, her experiences are generally negative due to being lower class, and her mom is dead. Every step of the way, this girl is finding herself noting down those who wronged her and reaching into the ether for a perceived devil that haunts her existence and sways her decisions. As the girl grows in experience, she develops relationships that delve into the psychosexual. The wickedness that surrounds her spreads to others like a disease. The really intriguing part is where some of the others she comes into contact with bring their own plaguing darkness, and amongst themselves they swap evil like spit until their malformed ideals align, or misalign.
This book is written very well. It claws at you and begs you to pay attention to it. Don't miss out on Charlene Elsby's works and this is one hell of a place to start if you are new to her art.
