Fantastic audiobook. Gothic southern family drama that crosses generations with a background macabre supernatural mystery.

such a disappointment
so many great descriptive words are used in many reviews about this?
epic? in what way? Where is this so dramatic terror?
its just a story about a family that has a very calm monster way way way back there in the dark. So far back why is it even a part of this book? Whats the point of this all?
I really got duped, I thought it was going to lead to something.

This book is a family saga with tinges of Horror thrown in. It's a quirky combination, but in the end the fine writing and good characterisation of McDowell leads the reader on to the foreshadowed conclusion. An interesting change for me, as I hadn't read anything like this before.
