It takes a whole lot to surprise me these days. I regularly read upwards of 25o books a year, so I've read the same tropes over and over again. Revelator not only surprised me, but managed to make me say wtffff quite a few times. This is extremely well done historical Appalachian horror. Seeing how things unfold is quite the experience that kept me on my toes. 5 stars
