Review Quotes:
"[Edwardson] has a talent for evoking the macabre" -Publishers Weekly
"Fans of Stephen King's small-town horror should take a trip to Jubilee to experience this terrifying Appalachian horror story." -Library Journal
"This is a book that'll stick with me for the rest of my life. It is complex, heartbreaking, and utterly hopeful. It reminds us all that no matter how small, how isolated, we may feel in this world, the earth--and those we love--will remember us."
-Megan Bontrager, author of The Sea Hides Its Dead
"Equal parts mystical and haunting, reading it fifilled both my waking and sleeping hours with a sense of dread and magic. Libby Edwardson is a truly singular voice in horror."
-Camilla Sten, author of
The Lost Village
"It's primal, profoundly human, and at times terrifying, but most of all it depicts the strength, secrets, and injustices of communities and families with a power that took my breath away."
-Hester Steel, author of
The Faceless Thing We Adore
"Edwardson expertly captures the imagery of the hollers in the way they were supposed to be: beautiful, complex, mysterious, and captivating. This compelling story will keep you on the edge of your seat, and is another stellar example of the profound literary talent from our Appalachia."
-Chuck Corra, co-founder of the Appalachian podcast
Appodlachia
"This vividly-told horror novel will send chills up your spine and catch your breath in your throat, all the while slowly revealing a core of both genuine heart and much-needed hope. I think I spent the final three chapters in tears."
-C.J. Dotson, author of
The Cut and
These Familiar Walls
