The Iron Garden Sutra

Don't believe the online blurb about this book. This is not cozy in any way. It's a Sci Fi-Horror novel that uses many tropes that are popular right now. It's similar to the Alien franchise as people are killed one by one by something in a spaceship. There's a lot of body horror here. There is a monk, but unlike Becky Chamber's placid monk, this one is miserably self-loathing. However, after I got about 50% of the way through, I started to really enjoy it. I like reading horror. And I liked the enemies-to-lovers romance-in-a-horrible-situation-movie that very slowly evolved. This book was for online book club, so it was a quick break from the Hugo nominees.
