And then River West arrives, swaggering right up to the front door, dressed like a boy right out of the 20's, and you fall in love a little. You feel so at home in Violet's world that you never want to leave. Violet takes the reader on a tour of her sleepy, superstitious coastal town, with its slow pace and summertime rituals, as well as every nook and cranny of her cliffside, crumbling mansion. It's clear from the first page that DEVIL is steeped in lush, eerie prose reminiscent of the horror pro Edgar Allen Poe.Įither way you slice it, DEVIL is Poe Pro all the way. How did April Genevieve Tulcholke know all the ways to stir my inner gothic hipster? How did she know I used to dress in my grandmother's clothes and pretend I was a temptress in the 40's? She has powers, you see. It's been a long time since I felt like a book was written just for me.
