“Mira saw the history of her people, of this country, of all the violence forgotten and ignored. It was here again. No, it was always here.”

This is a harrowing book, full of interesting characters, smart social commentary, and ghosts! I have a few minor quibbles but overall I’d recommend this book to fans of horror and southern gothic lit.
