Winterset Hollow by Jonathan Edward Durham

3.0

---

In the hands of a lesser author, this would be edgy schlock. In the hands of a greater author, it might be a masterpiece. As it is, the book is full of compelling ideas and moves along at a good clip, with occasional moments of memorable poignancy. Only a few stylistic issues (e.g., head-hopping) hold it back from greatness.
