Just finished reading Snake-Eater by T Kingfisher. Is it too freaky of me to say that a smut scene is what I wouldāve needed to give it 5 stars š
Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher: āThereās a squash god at the end of the garden.ā
The squash god in my head (except in green):
"We've gone from horror to farce. Or perhaps I'm hysterical. Yes. I think I deserve to be hysterical for a bit."
ā T. Kingfisher, Snake-Eater
"Selena believed, with every fiber of her being, that a person's worth was not defined by how hard they worked or how productive they managed to be. She also believed just as strongly that this did not apply to her."
ā T. Kingfisher, Snake-Eater

Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher
Official Summary:
From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Awardāwinning author T. Kingfisher comes an enthralling contemporary fantasy seeped in horror about a woman trying to escape her past by moving to the remote US desertāonly to find herself beholden to the wrath of a vengeful god. With only a few dollars to her name and her beloved dog Copper by her side, Selena flees her past in the city to claim her late auntās house in the desert town of Quartz Creek. The scorpions and spiders are better than what she left behind. Because in Quartz Creek, thereās a strange beauty to everything, from the landscape to new friends, and more blue sky than Selenaās ever seen. But something lurks beneath the surface. Like the desert gods and spirits lingering outside Selenaās house at night, keeping watch. Mostly benevolent, says her neighbor Grandma Billy. That doesnāt ease the prickly sense that one of them watches too closely and wants something from Selena she canāt begin to imagine. And when Selenaās search for answers leads her to journal entries that her aunt left behind, she discovers a sinister truth about her new home: Itās the haunting grounds of an ancient god known simply as āSnake-Eater,ā who her late aunt made a promise to that remains unfulfilled. Snake-Eater has taken a liking to Selena, an obsession of sorts that turns sinister. And now that Selena is the new owner of his home, heās hell-bent on collecting everything heās owed.
My Thoughts:
I adore everything I've read by T. Kingfisher, so it's no surprise that I loved Snake-Eater. It has everything I love about T. Kingfisher's novels, but this one has a stunning character arc that made me more emotional than I expected.
T. Kingfisher always has the best main characters, and Selena is no exception; I loved her immediately. She and her dog, Copper, are the heart of the story, but there are so many fantastic supporting characters, too. Grandma Billy and Father Aguirre quickly become Selena's two closest friends, and they are both seriously wonderful characters. I loved them and how kind they both are; their friendship with Selena is lovely!
The story is a fantastic blend of heartwarming, creepy, funny, and healing. Selena is escaping an emotionally abusive relationship. Seeing her slowly learn that she can be herself and still be valued is genuinely moving. She's a character that you can't help but root for.
I've seen this described as horror, but I would label this as more fantasy with light horror elements. It's similar to some of T. Kingfisher's previous horror novels, especially The Hollow Places and The Twisted Ones, but this one is much more focused on the character journey than on big scares. There were certainly a few scenes that creeped me out, though!
I loved this; I laughed, I cried, and I got really emotionally attached to all of the characters. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who loves good character arcs and stories with good dogs. Lovers of other cozy horror should really like this, too!

Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher: Review by Gary K. Wolfe
December 1, 2025
Followers of the popular and prolific T. Kingfisher probably noted that she settled in the American Southwest sometime last year, but her fascination with desert settings was already apparent in Hemlock and Silver earlier this year, with its fairytale king boasting of the giant agaves which helped keep the desert at bay. It struck me as a bit unusual, since deserts in fantasy have so often served simply as geographiĀcal shorthand for lifeless, hazardous wastelands to be traversed as part of the heroās challenges. (In SF, thanks largely to Frank Herbert, theyāve had a more complex history.) Now Kingfisher returns to a desert setting, much closer to home, in Snake-Eater, a more visceral and realistic portrait of the challenges and cultures of desert life. In fact, weāre more than a third of the way through before the first unambiguously superĀnatural figures show up. Until then, we follow the rather bleak saga of Selena, who in desperation gives up her job at a deli and spends almost her last few dollars to flee an emotionally abusive partner named Walter. Taking a train to the remote desert village of Quartz Creek, accomĀpanied only by her loyal dog, Copper, she plans to visit an aunt with whom she had only occaĀsionally corresponded with through postcards. Finding a virtually abandoned train station, she makes her way into the tiny town only to learn that Aunt Amelia had died a year earlier. With no apparent way of getting home, she decides to stay in the auntās abandoned house temporarily, despite the scorpions, rattlesnakes, and various other fearful critters. Fortunately, in good found-family tradition, the locals are an agreeable and quirky bunch, especially Jenny the postmistress/mayor/police chief, a rather mysterious priest named Father Aguirre, and the delightfully cantankerous neighbor Grandma Billy.
"Is it enough to know that it happened, and I got through it?"
