Fear by Ronald Kelly
4.0
There was this heart-warming, 1950's Southern Americana, dirt country Tennessee feeling about it that I just loved.
Jeb is a really innocent and brave kid from the wrong side of the tracks. He is faced with a few horrific challenges all at once in his young little life, one being a cunning snake-like monster thing that is taking out the townsfolk. In order to save them all, he must be brave and go on quite an epic adventure into the mouth of Fear County, facing its many hellish foes, along with a few special companions.
All of the characters were bursting with personality and many of them just so endearing. It took me longer than normal to finish this one just because I found myself savoring it. At the mention of his granny making the most delicious southern breakfast spread with cathead biscuits, I actually took a pause and made them myself!
