The Curse of the Mountain by Tyler Cram
4.0
CW: This book contains use of racial and homophobic slurs.
Overall I enjoyed this book a lot, there is a lot of heart for a horror book and Cram certainly has a lot of love for the genre and it shows. The book does not shy away from the visceral and the imagery it conjures serves well.
As much as I look forward to reading more of the authors work, I really do hope that they abstain from using slurs in their work. I feel like the extreme views of the characters using these words could be expressed without them being used. The real horror of this book was having to read the N and F slur.
