Mirna Z. (otherworldgirl) reviewed on
A creepy, creepy, creepy Lovecraftian mystery/horror. A paleontologist with a tragic past, her alcoholic psychic ex boyfriend, her dead best friend, a young goth, and an albino girl charged to destroy monsters by an angelic force converge around the secret of the ancient creatures living under Alabama's Red Mountain. Caitlin R. Kiernan's style has been described as "meaty" and here she definitely creates imagery as sultry and cloying as a midsummer day in the Deep South.
