What if Old Gods of Appalachia was through a queer femme lens? While I have been yelling about this book nonstop since I started reading, I don’t know how to talk about it without feeling like I’m overselling it. After I finished it I held it to my chest for 5 minutes just to sit with it for a while. Motheater is definitely the most annotated read in my collection. It’s not perfect, no book is, but I was moved in such a unique way. It’s beautiful and haunting and queer and wonderful. 

Please read this book and talk to me about it.
