Catfish Lullaby by A.C. Wise

4.0

"Everything she was holding inside wanted to come out and devour the world."

Catfish Lullaby is the first book I've read by AC Wise, and it was good! It's a witchy novella set in a small town with secrets, which is obviously the best setup you can have for a book.

This book is pretty mysterious, and I liked not being entirely sure where it was headed. The first half of the book is a coming-of-age story, and the second half is about the same characters as adults. Although the book is short while the story spans many years, it still felt like a complete story.

AC's horror writing is dark and gorgeous, and I would love to read more from her. Thank you to Broken Eye Books for sending me a copy of Catfish Lullaby to review!
