What starts off as a typical southern-fried ghost story, steeped in the sounds and smells of the bayou, becomes something very unique. This is literary gothic horror at its best, full of beautiful passages and atmosphere. I recommend going into the book semi-blind and letting it surprise you. The story becomes so much bigger and more complicated than expected and I enjoyed the ride very much. 4.5 stars, rounded up.
