The first part of the novel focuses closely on Amanda’s clandestine relationship, before moving onto her increasing concerns about her sanity and the safety of her family. What awaits them is not exactly the happier future they imagined. With her parents and four younger siblings, Amanda makes the journey from a small mountain cabin to the prairie in the hope of a better life, leaving behind the secret lover who rejected her after finding out Amanda was pregnant. Basically, it scared me as much as Dracula does and didn’t have half the campy distractions.Īmy Lukavics sets her novel during an unspecified historical period (I am guessing the mid-to-late 19th century), focusing on the Verner family through the voice of sixteen-year-old Amanda. Sadly, I was unable to perform both of these activities simultaneously, due to the fact that Ray Parker Jr.’s frankly iconic musical stylings are very amusing and my chosen novel, Daughters Unto Devils, was completely terrifying.
I’m not usually one to get involved in Halloween festivities, so this year I decided to celebrate the spooky season in my own quiet and antisocial way: reading scary books and listening to the Ghostbusters theme.
