Monstrilio is one of those books that are really difficult to fit neatly into any categories and marketers don’t really know what to do with them.
I’ve read quite a few books this year that ended up being marketed as horror just because they had some kind of monster in them, even though they didn’t fit the genre. one of them was even a romance book lol it just happened to have werewolves in it
oh no, this real teenager with mental illness is too unsympathetic and not inspiring enough :(
