Water Shall Refuse Them by Lucie McKnight Hardy
4.0
Jesus wept!
This takes a long while to get going but the payoff is massive. It's as dark and disturbing a book as I've read in a long time, full of brooding violence, creepy religious ritual and with a killer ending.
It reminded me a lot of The Wasp Factory, Shirley Jackson and, weirdly at times, Hot Fuzz.
A strange, horrible, rewarding book that is close to - but not quite - great. Still, highly recommended!
