Probably in my top 3 favorite books of all time. I went into it thinking it was horror but it’s not at all. Definitely more of a small town southern coming of age story.
Each chapter is almost its own little story but there’s an overarching mystery that progresses within those. It reminds me of the movie Big Fish both in the mini-stories-within-a-larger-story way of story telling & in the slight fantasy vibes.
The writing is immaculate, the characters are so lovable, it’s funny, it’s sad, it’s mysterious. I didn’t want it to end. Just read it if you’re on the fence.
