I think there is a lot of good in this book but I won’t lie I did get a bit lost a few times. I was listening to the audiobook and I think that made it a bit hard to keep all of the characters and their specific plots straight. However, I do think this book is well worth the read and I may pick it back up in physical form to re-read when I have the chance!

It’s also gay. As fuck.
John Fram methodically chips away at the pearly-white veneer of small-town Texas and exposes the eldritch horrors beneath, commenting on conservatism and faith-based hypocrisy in the meantime, and making you question everything you thought you knew about “traditional values.”
If that isn’t enough to convince you to rush to your nearest online checkout, then I don’t know what is.
