Blind Voices by Tom Reamy

5.0

Heard about this one from a GRRM interview where he explained that Reamys sudden death is what spurred him to abandon teaching and take up writing full time. I can see why the two would have gotten along so well, feels very Martin-esque. The character focused world building, the civilized surface over shocking violence and cruelty, the sensuality, the rationalistic take on the supernatural.
A lovely yarn. The story is ultimately a little formulaic, but the journey is one I'm sure I'll remember.
