Canaan's Tongue by John Wray

3.0

it's hard to say what I thought about this book. the first 50 pages or so were excellent -- the tone is dark and mythic and biblical and hypnotic. however, by the end it loses its mind and turns into a weird southern kaballah story, featuring possession (maybe) and a the-crying-game-style twist we all saw coming from midway through.
