"“Stephen Hundley has summoned forth a world that achieves a sense of strangeness and wonder while creating characters who are unrelentingly human in their flaws and strengths. A remarkable novel by an immensely talented young writer.” —Ron Rash, author of The Caretaker “This is a wonderful novel—part coming of age, part family drama, part thriller—and beautifully imagined. Written with great care and precision, the characters come alive on the page in a world you won’t forget. Stephen Hundley is a writer to watch.” —Chris Offutt, author of Code of the Hills ""A beautiful, intricate knot of a book."" —Mesha Maren, author of Perpetual West"
