This horror book is a must read for Fall 2024!
Steeped in western Americana meets Appalachian horror mixed with horses and feminist folk horror, this absolutely piqued my interest as soon as I heard of it.
As an ex-"horse girl" turned gothic spooky person, this absolutely spoke to me on a spiritual level. Marshall and her grief was painted beautifully and as a fish out of water in a small town where everyone knows everyone, deeply relatable. The writing was captivating and beautiful and expertly wove this fascinating tale with exquisite detail without permeating purple prose.
