Dark Cloud on Naked Creek by Cindy O'Quinn

7/3/2017

 
Picture
One element of fiction that I enjoy is the nonfiction aspect of it.  What I mean by this is that I always like to learn something new, something factual from the real world. For example, I love to read about a profession I’m not familiar with or a location I’ve never heard of or been to or, just generally, a way of life that is different from mine.
It was with this thought in mind that I picked up Cindy O’Quinn’s book Dark Cloud on Naked Creek.  It explores the world of Appalachian folklore and the "Cunnin' Folk," and while it is speculative fiction, it had a lot of interesting details about a way of life that is unique.

If you'd like to know more about the book, please check out the review published in Bewildering Stories today.  You can read the review here.  Hope you enjoy it!

    I read a lot - depending on my writing schedule, I can usually read about a book a day.  Some of the books are fantastic and I would love to recommend to everyone - some, not so much.  Either way, I thought I would share a few thoughts on what I'm reading at the moment.
