"Some of the most exciting and unique stories in contemporary fiction are growing out of the interstitial space between crime and horror, and Blackwood is one of the finest examples. Overrun by kudzu and smelling of wet earth, this haunting novel of ghosts, broken people and lost childhood is packed with nightmarish imagery, great writing and a noir atmosphere that puts the darkest realities of small town America on full display."
