Page-turning neo-noir southern serial killer mystery. S.A. Cosby has a some good turns of phrase. “Death, darkness, terror: nothing would stop them from setting up the pie-eating booth and the crab-pot-pulling platform.” I think he has a good horror novel in him; All the Sinners Bleed is already kind of a slasher. The part with the Fall Fest reminded me a bit of the “Thanksgiving” trailer from the early 2000s Grindhouse movie. its a lot of mystery novel/neo-noir tropes: the detective with a past (& whose first love is the law), the very genius killer, the phone call with the killer (quoting bible verses). Has a good deal of commentary on 2020s era southern local politics, with old money, black liberation theologians, neo-confederates (with statue), old-time religion/cult types, & good ole boy gangsters all represented.
