...I wrote about Amy Lukavics' Daughters Unto Devils, which is SCARY LIKE WHOAAAA:
Even before we get into the backstory of the Verner family’s new cabin, even before Unexplained Things Begin To Happen, the tension comes from EVERYWHERE. It comes from the setting, yes—a blood-soaked cabin will do that—but it also comes from the more everyday dangers of prairie life (rattlesnakes and coyotes). Even more stress comes from the relationships between the characters—Amanda’s father’s nastiness toward her mother, the rift between Amanda and her closest sister—as well as the constantly screaming baby, from the claustrophobia inherent in sharing a small space with a large group of people, from the stress of trying to keep a secret in that environment.
