This is my first Rivers Solomon book, and I don't know if they're all this poetic and lyrical, but I was caught by surprise in a good way. Also caught by surprise a number of tropes I normally dislike--child abuse, dysfunctional families, animal deaths, plus the suggestion that the "haunting" might not be supernatural at all--that were handled so well, it still worked. This is graphic, but not gratuitous.
