Song of the Red Squire by C.W. Blackwell

5.0

I preferred the noir to the horror in this noir/horror but really, both parts were well done. The first three quarters of the book introduce us to the strange town and characters and despite it only being a hundred page book they were all written to seem developed and authentic. Great dialouge. The world War two flashback was the best part of the book, it was some real world horror shit. Then the last quarter of the book gets into the folk horror and I'm not a big fan of folk horror generally but this story was so well put together that I ended up loving it too. It's different from the first three quarters but still great.
