This queer novel had a Southern horror theme. I enjoyed it.

Hmm. Logically right up my alley: horror, queer people, Appalachia...Missed the mark a bit for reasons spoilered below. But that's a me thing.
I do not enjoy graphic sex scenes. Or any kind, really. I skipped both: you can definitely skip the first one with no issues; for the second, read the start of it. Still a great book, I was just not expecting pages of sex.
Beautiful prose! The perspective is very close--you can really feel yourself as Leslie, moving through the town.
Score breakdown:
Objective-ish quality: 4.5 (counted twice)
My enjoyment: 3
((4.5 x 2) + 3) /3 = 4
