Black River Orchard by Chuck Wendig
5.0

Creepy and visceral. The book exists at the center of several types of horror that I love with characters that feel like neighbors here a state over. I love a book that effortlessly feels like it's current, but not trying to be trendy with its dialogue and characters.

Some Children of the Corn, some Invasion f the Body Snatchers, a bit of The Crazies and more mixed in. There was an opportunity to make a lot of heavy-handed religious analogies, but thankfully, this book never takes that route.
