4.5

A horror novel that mostly takes place during the plantation wedding of the Black main character's white high school friend. In this Southern horror novel, the past literally haunts the town where the characters live. It's well-paced with each reveal happening at a satisfying time. The work also strongly speaks to the way the past affects the current future.
