This Wretched Valley by Jenny Kiefer

4.0

This Wretched Valley by Jenny Kiefer is an atmospheric horror novel with a solid survivalist thriller element.  I'll be honest and say that the cover totally caught my eye.  It's so creepy!  The story is pretty great too and I found myself quite invested in the characters and the mystery of the woods.  I've never done rock climbing before - too scary for me - so just that element was more than enough for me.  There are plenty of other freaky and gory things going on here as well.  I'm looking forward to reading more from this author in the future and I might have to make a trip down to Louisville, Kentucky to visit her horror bookstore, Butcher Cabin Books!  By the way, I just had a good time with a book set in Kentucky.  I don't see that enough, especially in horror.
