Catfish Lullaby by A.C. Wise

4.0

Catfish Lullaby is a Southern Gothic novella with a touch of Lovecraft/cosmic horror as well. AC Wise knows how to write beautifully and tell a story that is dark, mysterious, and haunting. This novella follows Caleb and Cere as kids to adults in a two-part tale. It seems that whenever Caleb and Cere are together that tragedy is just around the corner. I do not want to give too much away, though, because I want you to be just as surprised, delighted, and in awe of this story while reading it as I was.

This story dives into childhood, family, preconceived notions of others, acceptance, small-town lore, and more. It's amazing just how much Wise put into this novella and how impactful it is. 4 stars!
