My wife does one of those YA book box subscriptions, and while nice, the art is always the exactly same styling. I appreciate that this one is a different style.
Literally just finished this about 10 minutes ago.
I thought it was a very entertaining read. Appalachian folk horror about a small clannish community in the Tennessee mountains and their cultish religion and the unusual way they worship their god.
Throw in a dash of creature feature, and two dashes of overall weirdness, and you get a pretty entertaining story.
Plus, Gregory knows how to write. Good character development, excellent pacing; there’s no wasted verbiage in this story. You’re fully immersed in the story from the first page to the last.

I was already intrigued by this title (I’ve been meaning to check out Gregory’s work for a while now), but your review makes it sound fantastic!
That being said, I’m still torn on Midworld’s edition. $150 seems pretty pricey for what is included in the production.

That's one of the things that keeps me from being a Midworld customer, beyond the one or two I've bought. The cost-to-benefit ratio just isn't there for me and seems out of whack with the rest of the industry (which, admittedly, has seen a real price creep over the last decade), and I'm certainly not going to then take a gamble on an author I've never heard of with that ratio already in play.
