I am finally getting to this. I've read almost everything else by LaValle (I'm a big fan). I do believe I only have [b:Big Machine 6488057 Big Machine Victor LaValle https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348774112l/6488057.SY75.jpg 6679435] and [b:The Ecstatic 849696 The Ecstatic Victor LaValle https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320495521l/849696.SY75.jpg 835208] to go. I started watching the show on Apple + and it leaves off on a giant cliffhanger, so here we are. This is tough story. No one wants to read about bad things happening to babies, but this is a fairy tale that takes place in a world very similar to our own. It's on the same level as Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere (London) or NK Jemisin's The City We Became (also New York City). Fantastic.
