The Hum and the Shiver

This book reads like a blend of American tall tales and European faerie talkes along with a style of magic realism that puts me in mind of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Hatfields and McCoys meet Midsummer Night's Dream. It's a haunting story that is not afraid to string the reader along with hints and guesses of what is truly happening and what we might be just imagining. It's a story about homecoming, trauma, and finding out who you are within and outside of your family. It's hard to say more without giving too much away, but if you like any of the above, I encourage you to read this book. I'll definitely be continuing in the series.
