Starts very slow. So slow that I thought about DNFing it but didn’t, and I’m glad that I finished it. It picks up towards the end and finishes strong. I feel it’s an important story to tell, but it may lose some people because the plot doesn’t show up until the end of the book.

Lots of fascinating information about root magic, but much of the book read like an instruction manual rather than a narrative.

This collection of short stories is billed as “Southern Gothic Horror” and I will attest that the description is perfect. They range from strange to bizarre and from freakish to aberrant. I am not a fan of horror, so it is no surprise that some of these were just too far over the top for my tastes, but more than feeling horror, I felt an urge to laugh. They were so improbable, indeed impossible, that they didn’t stir any fear; I would say they were campy.

There were several that were exceptionally well done. Hag Ride, Path of the War Chief, and The Choking Kind were the most appealing to me. The only lesson I would take from the collection is beware of strong women; doesn’t pay to cross them.… (altro)

Things that impressed me about this book:
No shying away from terrible things (police brutality, racism in the 1960s, grief, prejudice against magic, isolation and loneliness)
A LOT happens in the book, but the pacing is steady throughout
I know very little about Gullah-Geechee heritage and this book drops the reader into it and shares that background effortlessly
It's a complicated story, but really engaging and the scary parts are well delivered and tempered to be not as scary
Love the family relationships, the Sheriff who wants to help, the twins themselves, Jezebel's strong spirit
