For fans of: Appalachian folk Horror, slow burns, creepiness over gore
This is a very impressive bit of folk horror and was my introduction to the author. This is one of the creepiest books I've read this year. It is a dual timeline book, but I never had trouble differentiating between them and the book never felt jumbled. It's big on atmosphere and low on gore. The majority of the gore happens off camera, but that doesn't make it any less unsettling. I'm looking forward to reading more by Breanna Leslie.
