Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes

The novel is a chilling blend of crime thriller and supernatural horror set in Detroit, where a series of gruesome murders baffle the police and unsettle the city. The story follows Detective Gabriella Versado as she investigates the bizarre killings, which involve victims being grotesquely transformed into disturbing art pieces. As the narrative unfolds, it weaves together the lives of several characters, including a struggling journalist, a homeless man, and a young girl, all of whom are drawn into the mystery. The book explores themes of obsession, transformation, and the blurred lines between reality and nightmare, culminating in a tense and eerie climax. The 7884th greatest book of all time
