Revelator
by Daryl Gregory
This is one of the strangest, most captivating, and unnerving books I've read in a long time. I cannot recommend it enough.
This is by no means your standard horror or sci-fi book (as I am not entirely sure which genre it constitutes as. Both, I think). It takes place largely between 1938 and 1948, telling the story of a Southern Appalachian family and their close-knit, secretive baptist religion that worships The God in the Mountain. The women of the Birch family are the revelators, the only ones who can "commune" with the God. It is a sacrificial, terrifying, beautiful, and revered role and one that is regarded to the highest degree.
I did not know where this story would go, with punch after unrelenting punch coming from every direction. It was terrifying and glorious.
This is one of my favorite things I've had the pleasure of reading. It is unique and captivating, and though it starts slow, this Southern Gothic tale will draw you in.
