I want to start off by making a statement... this is not at all what I expected. With that being said, It was still a great book. I expected a horror novel, and while the events of the majority of the book are indeed horrific, it is not your typical horror story. But that is what Grady Hendrix is getting known for, isn't it?
I don't want to give any spoilers, so read the book description, but keep an open mind, and don't expect any appearances of Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger. This is a psychological thriller. Slow moving yes, but not boring. The characters development is superb, probably the best so far from this author. I look forward to every new release.
This book is set in a time when most people thought America was "Great", and this book explores those shunned realities against a backdrop of "witchcraft" and feminism and racism. The narration is top notch.
