Smothermoss

Set in an isolated 1980s Appalachian community, reeling from the brutal murder of two hikers, this novel is deliciously creepy and unsettling, yet gorgeous and dreamlike in its portrayal of two impoverished girls who must come to terms with what´s happening on the sentient mountain they call home and also with themselves as they stand on the cusp of adulthood. 1980s Appalachia. Sheila knows she needs to keep her appetites in check.
