North 40 by Aaron Williams
3.0
An' that's when it all done went t' hell'n'gone. Ain't a soul what remembers what gone on that night. Conover County never had much in the way o' notable hist'ry past when the North an' the South came lookin' for conscripts. Well, outside o' the odd police report. But anyhow... Ain't a soul what remembers what gone on that night. Ain't a soul alive what don't remember the NEXT day... an' all the ones what came after, each night fallin' like the lid on a casket.

The story has strong Lovecraft vibes as it sees curious students uncover a mysterious ancient text in their library. Upon reading the incantations they unleash hell upon their small town. Causing the locals to develop strange new powers, there are those who want to embrace the darkness and those who will band together to stand in its way.
Obviously it is incredibly well drawn but the story itself felt poorly paced, with gaps in the narrative which caused some confusion in places. Overall 3 1/2 stars.
