It’s actually pretty fantastic and quiet a page turner. It’s sold on being scary with lots of horror elements but is closer to a investigation of cults then it is to a horror story. The funny part is that this is like a precursor to Midsommar, but the “horror” readers are supposed to feel comes from the power of women dominating men and men being the victims. It’s Midsommar except from the boyfriend’s perspective.

I hate this book. It’s supposed to be a folk horror classic but man I wish I’d skipped it. One of the most misogynist horror novels I’ve ever read, and that is SAYING something. Watch Children of the Corn instead to get the campy corn-based horror.
