Break the Bodies, Haunt the Bones by Micah Dean Hicks

5.0

This first novel from Micah Dean Hicks is a refreshing look at the idea of horror, and strays from usual horror conventions. The usage of Swine Hill and its ghosts as a stand in for the modern American factory town was a bit heavy handed at times, and some descriptions of the town and its people had me wondering how exactly a town like this could even exist in the information age. For me, this was made up for by beautiful prose, a strong story, and a great cast of characters.
