A moral story or folktale feel just with a whole lot more violence. Written well, and unlike anything I’ve read before. I think it was just a bit too gory for me to follow 100%. As someone who lives in Atlanta though, this was cool to read especially after just taking a weekend visit to Macon before picking this up!
Graphic: Body horror, Death, and Torture
Moderate: Racial slurs, Racism, and Death of parent
