This was very well written, and slightly more horror-esque than I was expecting, but in a very good way! It encapsulates a lot of post civil war black culture, Gullah culture, and African American mythology that isn’t seen very often while still being full of action and violence that make some fantasy/horror novels so great! It is a riveting mix of culture and creep that never stops moving. I’m hoping that by the epilogue there will be more to come!
