I've never read anything by Stephen Graham Jones, but now I need to add everything he's ever written onto my TBR. This book was amazing. I'll admit that it started off slow for me and it took me a little while to get into it, but halfway through the first section I was completely gripped and ended up finishing the book in one sitting. Jones does a great job mixing cultural elements, gore, horror and tragedy through this story, connecting each section to one another and the original events that started it all. How can a narrative be so horrific and yet so beautiful at the same time. Seriously, I have chills. There are definitely some disturbing elements in this book, but if you can make it through to the end, you won't regret it.
