When the Monsters Cry

This is definitely one of R07's stranger novels. He really leant into the gore aspect pretty hard in this one, so if you don't like that, I would probably steer clear. Other than that though, I found that this novel explored some really interesting topics in R07's typical kind, but down-to-earth way. Overall, the writing is much less clear than in some of his previous novels, so I would say this is generally a weaker work of his, but it's clear it was somewhat experimental and overall still very enjoyable and thought-provoking. Also, if you're familiar with his other work, there is a LOT ofreally great stuff to look forwards to in this one, so I would highly recommend if you've read anything else he's made (especially Higurashi). Overall, would definitely recommend though to anyone who isn't squeamish.
