Grey Dog by Elliott Gish
5.0
This book turned out to be so much more than what I thought. It took me two tries to get into this book; the first time was just kinda slow and I wasn't really getting pulled in like I expected. The second time had me!
This story turns out to be a wild one. As I was reading and listening to it I'm not sure that I fully grasped what was happening and it wasn't until I finished it and thought about it did I realize what exactly I had read. The storytelling here is great! It is sinister and foreboding and just plain eerie at times and I loved it! It feels like there are a lot of larger ideas and metaphors going on this one that you can spend so much time teasing out and that is something that I love when I read a book. I loved the setting and how the characters were written and the entire plot was just spooky and fun.
Not to give anything away, you open with Ada Byrd in 1901 who has just accepted a teaching post in an isolated village. Things seem to be going well until weird things start happening to Ada and she begins to see and hear things. What comes after is Ada's slow decline into what? and stories of the Grey Dog. Honestly, this book was so good and weird and freaky all at the same time. It's a fun read for spooky season or maybe even on a cold winter's night when the wind sounds like it is saying your name...
