Those Across the River

I read this book as part of the Goodreads "Apocalypse Whenever" Bossy Book Challenge Quarter 2, no theme challenge. I was assigned this book, and could not have been happier by it! This is the second Christopher Buehlman book I have read, Why have I not read more of his books?

Mr. Buehlman is a true artisan and craftsman when it comes to character building. But it is not just that the characters jump off the page. I FELT like I was in a post WWI Georgia town while reading this book. I was walking through the woods jumping at every noise with the characters. because this is a book set in the 20's in the south there is offensive language regarding black and to a lesser extent women. There is also a rape discussed in the book, and although it is touched on very briefly and without much detail, it could be triggering for some.

I am giving this book 5 stars, a rare thing for me.
