Wowwwwwwww!
I'll start by saying that the cover art might steer a lot of people away - not that I could draw anything better of course. But the illustration on the cover compared to the depth of the book is much different. It's a very "Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover" type of deal.
This easily is one of the best books I've ever read, and I mean that.
I stumbled across this book suggestion on Reddit when I was looking for books that gave off the same kind of energy of a podcast I follow called Old Gods of Appalachia and I was not disappointed.
This was a southern-style horror as well as a coming-of-age tale. Detailed characters. Small old town vibes. Fantasy. Creature folklore. Gore. Genuine love. Amazing food descriptions. Villains that will make you squirm with rage. Southern Charm. All of it. Many times through the book I laughed or cried and managed to finish this 400+ page book in a couple of days because I couldn't put it down during any of my free time.
It was a magical experience and really moved me. Do read this book. I'll be back in the future to peep new reviews on it that I haven't yet read.
