A review by mothmanders
The Devil and Preston Black by Jason Jack Miller
4.0
Goodreads rating is rounded up; I gave it a 3.5/5 in my personal reading log.
My rating may be biased because I knew the author at one point. I couldn't see Preston Black as anyone but an extension of himself. As such, a lot of this novel gave off a pretentious, "cooler than you" impression.
My favorite part about this book is the author's approach to exploring and sharing Appalachian culture. I think it was very well done; in fact, as of writing this review, it may be my favorite representation of Appalachian culture in fictional literature.
This book is the first of a series of four novels, though this doesn't end in a cliffhanger. I think it wraps up nicely as a standalone, or you could choose to continue reading about Preston Black's journey.
