OrangeReviewStarSince childhood, Molly Southbourne has known she was different, with her parents setting a specific rule that she must never bleed. For when she bleeds, another identical molly is born to kill her. Molly has watched herself die many times, both at her parents' hands and at her own. She has learned how to survive her many selves, developing skills that would shame serial murderers and prevent her from living a normal life. No matter how much care she takes, Molly will bleed, and the other versions of herself will eventually find her. While she's accepted the specter of death chasing her, she wonders if there is any way to change her fate?
VERDICT Horror fans will love Thompson's (Making Wolf; Rosewater) sordid, dark, and coldly logical tale.
