Review: Read it first or second, you'll love it either way.

'Orpheus Born' was written after the full length 'Orpheus'.  Orpheus Born fills in some background and details for the novel's story.  Because I read Orpheus first, Orpheus Born felt like revisiting a familiar friend and learning his secrets.  Knowing what happens before the characters do was a delicious feeling.  The story starts just before the horror that you know is coming, which creates a strong sense of foreboding.  It makes the following events even more emotionally jarring.If you decide to read Orpheus Born first, you're going to get sucked in.  You'll probably finish it in one sitting and if you're not already too creeped out to continue, you'll likely want to start reading Orpheus immediately after. Do it. At night. Alone.  Sleep is overrated.
