The Reapers Are the Angels by Alden Bell

4.0

If Huck Finn and Rhee from Winters Bone had a child and then that child was orphaned and dropped in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, it might very well be Temple. This book was pretty amazing- sparse, economical writing, totally creepy and gross and weird scenes and a really great protagonist. Very Southern. Two things nagged at me a bit- sometimes the dialect felt a little strange to me and the third (and last) section kind of went "clunk" but on the balance, this one will stick with me for a while.
