Mouse wants nothing more to do with the house, but before she can leave, Bongo disappears, and she refuses to go home without him. Her neighbor, Foxy, calls these creatures the holler people. Everything in it sounds like the ravings of a man losing his mind until bizarre creatures show up outside Mouse’s window. After a few days digging through junk, she unearths a rambling journal belonging to her stepgrandfather, Frederick Cotgrave, which tries to retell a fairy tale.
When Melissa (aka Mouse) is asked by her father to clean out her grandmother’s house, she heads to North Carolina with her coonhound, Bongo. A witty young girl and horrific creatures tangle in this atmospheric folk horror novel from Kingfisher (a pen name for Ursula Vernon).
