great supernatural story filled with a few mountain myths and legends. This author is a lot like bentley little. If you like Little you'll like this one.
I read this book because I am a Bentley Little fan. Y'know, one of those recommendations "if you like so-and-so, then you'll like this one." The Farm was good, but didn't grab me in like most Bentley Little stories. I thought it was too long, too detailed, and a bit run-of-the-mill scary.
Key elements include main characters moved from the city to the mountains, mysterious death of previous wife, country pastors, ghosts, and goats... lots and lots of goats.
