Took forever to get through this book. I love the folk horror genre more than any genre on earth— wanted to love this so bad, but it’s more that it was fine! Very slow. Very, very slow. Like, I liked what I was reading, but it seemed to drag on forever with nothing happening AT ALL. The last 80 pages really kicked things into gear. 75% of the book was pure atmosphere (which I loved!), 10% was a pretty generic ‘70s detective story, and then the last 15% is kooky, creepy fun! It’s American Wicker Man, you can’t go too wrong with that.
