DNF-ed at 200 pages ... this was just not for me.
Even with the southern spooky ghost story theme, queer characters who party and race cars in the off time of their masters studies, I was so bored. The writing was dense and repetitive, never were any of the supernatural parts actually creepy, and the characters were so simple. And soooo much macho-alpha-masculine melodrama.
