The cold spots and scratching in the walls were weird enough, but […]

Review: Before The Devil Knows You’re Here by Autumn Krause

October 3, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The best way I can think to summarize this book would be to say that Krause writes up an atmospheric homage to a mixed cultural background and the memory of a person dear to her, depicting a different, darker, and more folk gothic side to early 19th century americana. Bringing to life that solid and vivid mix of folk tales and myth that were also paired with the Christian overtones informing the 1800s American short story. Think Washington Irving’s The Devil and Tom Walker but add more monsters and a gutsy young woman willing to do anything for her family.
