Waiting on Wednesday 04/14/21
Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick
Revelator by Daryl Gregory (August 31, 2021 by Knopf Publishing Group)
Looks like 2021 will be a big year for Daryl Gregory, but seeing as his last novel was Spoonbenders in 2017, I’m not complaining. I love his books!
“In 1933, nine-year-old Stella is left in the care of her grandmother, Motty, in the backwoods of Tennessee. These remote hills of the Smoky Mountains are home to dangerous secrets, and soon after she arrives, Stella wanders into a dark cavern where she encounters the family’s personal god, an entity known as the Ghostdaddy.
Years later, after a tragic incident that caused her to flee, Stella–now a professional bootlegger–returns for Motty’s funeral, and to check on the mysterious ten-year-old girl named Sunny that Motty adopted. Sunny appears innocent enough, but she is more powerful than Stella could imagine–and she’s a direct link to Stella’s buried past and her family’s destructive faith.
Haunting and wholly engrossing, summoning mesmerizing voices and giving shape to the dark, Revelator is a southern gothic tale for the ages.”

I’m usually not one for books built around faith or experiences of belief, but the idea of “the family’s personal god” has me intrigued.

Me neither, but I’m curious to see how the author will tackle it!

Thanks for the heads up on this! I *still* haven’t read Spoonbenders. That needs to change.
