I find myself immediately skeptical because the first two women characters to be introduced by name and who are completely unrelated to each other, both go by their last names and I find this to be so unlikely that I am now giving this book mega side-eye as I continue onward.

I'm excited to read this one. Two things are selling me. Maybe three things. (1) The blurb on the back says "folk horror." Immediate yes. (2) "Insular community" screams cult and I'm a sucker for any and all cult stuff. (3) Rumors of a horse giving birth to a human baby? WEIRD. I'm down for weird. I like this cover, too. Barbed wire wrapped around a manicured hand holding a red horseshoe. Super intriguing. 🤔
