I listened to this book in two days. I loved this book, I loved the horror, I loved the mythology and I loved the Appalachian aspect. The narrators were so good. There were some times when I got confused listening as to who "the shadow" was narrating and would have caught on faster if I was reading the text. But still really well done. I was listening with a friend, and we stopped what we were doing to finish the last couple hours. We were hooked and had to know what was going to happen, we couldn't listen fast enough! This is perfect for Black History Month and ultimately for any time of the year. There's something about reading a horror book during February.
