Description
Little House on the Prairie but make it dark and queer....oh and add monsters!
Monsters are real and the United States is infested…
In the year 1900, a section of the Mid-Western United States, known as The Infested, is overrun with ghosts and monsters. Despite the evil that lurks just outside their door, Desdemona and her family live in The Infested. Their home is a haven for those that make the treacherous journey from east to west.
While magic keeps them safe, Desdemona has always felt indescribably drawn to the Infested. A dangerous compulsion when her mother dies and her father is late leading the wagon train from the East. When a shadow creature appears on their land, and mysterious, alluring visitors arrive, Desdemona is forced to do something she never wanted: lead her family.
Desdemona and her siblings must band together to save themselves and their home. If they can’t escape the darkness and overcome the tension that has grown between them, their father may very well return to nothing but a graveyard.

This is terrifying, weird and creepy. I love the pioneer/wagon train aspect. That's my jam.
It was good rewriting of history with supernatural elements.

3 Stars! This book was written very well, and was set with the correct tone of where this book was set. It was unique and different and original which is not always seen. I liked the west, the creepy wagons and the swing!! Including the Overall premise and different characters.
I was expecting it to be scary, but for me it wasn’t, however I am a complete horror nerd. It’s still creepy and adventurous, and good for anyone that wants a different read.
Thank you to Netgally and Renee Lake for this ARC✨
