"Wilson" is a bad man. That much is apparent from almost the very beginning of this dark and quirky tale of supernatural terror.

Thus, the main questions I found myself pondering during the read were: exactly how bad is he and how might that be addressed? Is he a victim of sorts himself, being manipulated by circumstances, or other external forces? Is there hope for him to become something more than what he appears to be?

I won't spoil anything by answering those questions but I will say that I ultimately did enjoy how the story resolved, and the somewhat unexpected twists and turns it took along the way.

There were a few aspects of the experience I didn't love, or that I found to be a little rough around the edges in ways that were occasionally somewhat distracting, but overall, I was satisfied by my time with "Wilson" and the glimpse into his life in a dust-bowl-era carnival filled with "special" individuals. I also really enjoyed the ways certain animals interacted with the human characters, and how the significance of those interactions gradually became apparent throughout the story.

This one is definitely rather grim and twisted, so it may not work for everyone, but if you prefer your horror with a lot of punch and unflinching detail, you'll likely end up at least appreciating the pictures "Wilson" will almost certainly leave lingering in your mind.
