This book, like many of Kingfisher's books, absolutely changed my worldview. Similar in content to the audio drama podcast, Old Gods of Appalachia (if you're looking for other haunted Appalachian tales). The book felt fast-paced because something stressful was always happening, but we are still left with more mysteries than explanations in the end. I feel this is a fitting end to a horror book, and was right up my alley.
