“What a huge excavation is going on down here inside me. Level after level. The pain keeps on flooding out of the darkness. The sides clamp tighter and tighter. Can’t smell, can’t see, can’t speak. I’m being pulled apart like a cracker. Vomit one end, shit the other. It’s abject, violent, unstoppable.”

I think you’d like it, Lisa. It’s folk horror at its finest. The sense of dread slowly keeps amplifying until you’re drowning in it. It’s the slowest of slow burns and I’m loving it. So refreshingly different from anything else ever read. Been reading little bits each day to drag out the experience!

Oh yeah I love a slow burn! Comparable to Andrew Michael Hurley would you say? I love his work and the way the dread kind of drapes itself over you as you read. Can’t remember if you’ve read his stuff 🤔
I’d say Hurley’s Devil’s Day is comparable. The land’s a character in and of itself, ominous. Lots of ambiguity, the reader’s given space to interpret and draw their own conclusions.
