One of the most influential horror novels of the 1970s, this novel is a stunning southern gothic encompassing the occult and ancient family curses. It opens with one of the most notorious chapters in horror history: a brutal bloodbath at a military wedding. It is an intricately weaved work of plot and subplot.

Those seven words about the opening chapter were enough to have me sold on this. Hopefully I can find a copy for a decent price.

I love this book.

This is where Amazon is hiding all the less expensive copies.

I still really liked it when I re-read it. It is very creepy. It has a little bit of that shock style that was popular at the time, but it manages to stay just graphic enough without being too much. The beginning is an extremely memorable and intense scene. It's worth reading it just for that part. The rest of the novel doesn't maintain that level of intensity, but there are still several more standout moments. The end wraps things up well enough, and I liked that the novel left a few things for the reader to put together on their own. It didn't feel the need to spell everything out.
