So Cold the River by Michael Koryta

Last night I finished reading Michael Koryta's "So Cold the River", a horror novel set in Indiana (as if those poor people don't suffer enough just by living there). I'm jealous of Koryta. Not only is he young and prolific, his writing style is beautiful; his "Cypress House" made my 'best of' list of 2011. I had to read this novel in spurts, which as always makes me resent it and want to hurry it along, but that's my schedule's fault, not the book's. Keep Koryta in mind as a successor to King. B+/A-
