Claire survives a psychotic hillbilly family that horrifically tortured and murdered her friends and ate them. She manages to escape and is found on the side of the road by a father and son that risk their lives to help her. The book switches perspectives throughout and gives the reader more insight into the killer family’s complete insanity as well as Claire’s struggle to move on, and even shows the perspective of characters that get pulled into the madness that occurred in Alabama.
I really enjoyed this one, it was scary, it was suspenseful, it was gross, it was everything you want in a horror novel pretty much. All it was missing for me was ghosts! This was my second by this author, and I’m excited to read more by him.
