All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes by (Revised)
All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes by (Revised) | John Farris
2 posts | 4 read
One of the most influential horror novels of the 1970s, this novel is a stunning southern gothic encompassing the occult and ancient family curses. It opens with one of the most notorious chapters in horror history: a brutal bloodbath at a military wedding. It is an intricately weaved work of plot and subplot.

Mehso-so

Finished this.

Pros: original story line & fast paced. It kept me guessing until the end of who the guilty parties were. Not all voodoo is evil.

Cons: racist dialogue where even heroes used derrogitory names. Maybe none of the characters were supposed to be liked? It depicted a voodoo lwa as evil although in reality, she is equivalent to the virgin mary. The end seems like the author was trying to rush to meet a deadline.
