Not for me. The prose was way too flowery and over the top. This book could have easily been half the length. Very difficult to finish.

This was a dark book to read and the stuff movies get made of, but it’s actually an important treatise on the state of the South even today where many Whites still yearn for the days of Jim Crow and Black oppression.

This was so dark and twisted but so layered. Definitely not for the faint of heart. I loved it and was genuinely creeped out. I would love to see this turned into a movie.

Thrilling, mysterious and I couldn’t see any of it coming. I really enjoyed the ride. This author is someone who can weave in social commentary so beautifully with real life, gore, and small town life. He never misses. Highly recommend. The ending and whodunnit lost .25 for me because it felt not connected. But still, read this book!!!!
