A review by trey_bien
The Auctioneer by Joan Samson

3.0

I read this book hoping for some subtle horror. It was recommended by several people online and lauded as a cult classic. I wouldn’t call this book a horror novel, but enjoyed it nonetheless. It’s feels like a time capsule of rural life during this era and each character feels so fleshed out and real. RIP Joan Samson. I love the way she writes with such attention to detail and would have liked to see what else she could write.
