À propos de cet audio

 ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • The dark, gripping tale of a 1930’s family in the remote hills of the Smoky Mountains, their secret religion, and the daughter who turns her back on their mysterious god—from the acclaimed author of Spoonbenders.

“Gods and moonshine in the Great Depression, written with a tenderness and brutality … this is as good as novels get.” —Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians

In 1933, nine-year-old Stella is left in the care of her grandmother, Motty, in the backwoods of Tennessee. The mountains are home to dangerous secrets, and soon after she arrives, Stella wanders into a dark cavern where she encounters the family's personal god, an entity known as the Ghostdaddy.

Years later, after a tragic incident that caused her to flee, Stella—now a professional bootlegger—returns for Motty's funeral, and to check on the mysterious ten-year-old girl named Sunny that Motty adopted. Sunny appears innocent enough, but she is more powerful than Stella could imagine—and she’s a direct link to Stella's buried past and her family's destructive faith.

Haunting and wholly engrossing, summoning mesmerizing voices and giving shape to the dark, Revelator is a southern gothic tale for the ages. Fantastique Fiction Historique Horreur Épouvante Effrayant

Great setting. Clear and easily conceived, a particular time and place that gives a good frame to the story. Not so sure about the story though; while the situation is interesting, I’m having trouble buying into the main character’s drive to protect the girl from…not sure what, exactly. Some details that should be clarified remain obscured.

I was interested in this book because it fell under the Gothic Horror genre. I like period horror as well as I think a cleaner story can be told without technology complicating the story. Revelator falls into both of these categories. The story caught my attention right away. Revelator jumps back and forth from the 1930s to the late 1940s telling the story of Stella and how she becomes a Revelator. The author did a great job of painting a picture of the deep south and I like that the women in this story are strong and independent. I didn't have any issues with the story or plot although when the story jumped back and forth between when Stella was young and then as an adult, it felt like it killed the pacing a bit. Also this a slow burn. The story progresses and then it jumps back in time to fill in and flesh out the plot. By the time I was in the 3rd act this felt a bit old and I wanted the story to progress.
The biggest issue I had was the narration. The narrator's voice was perfect for the female protagonist but it really felt monotone for most of the story. I felt she didn't have the range to give each character their own personality as I heard listening to other audiobooks. Unfortunately I thought this hurt the overall presentation of the audiobook.
In the end this is an interesting Gothic Horror story however it's development is slow and methodical. I thought it could use some editing to tighten the pacing of the plot. Even though it is a horror it's not the typical horror story. I didn't feel uncomfortable, uneasy or disturb. This is more of monster story and the history around it and the characters involved.

Solid Gothic horror but narration....

As a longtime fan of Daryl Gregory...I really wanted to like it, It had potential, I didn't hate it... but to me it felt like it would have been better as a short story. I found it hard to follow at times as it switched back and forth in time and I just wasn't all that interested in the characters. The payoff was not worth the time investment.

meh?..
