I loved Brit Griffin’s newest novel, The Haunting of Modesto O’Brien. It was published by Latitude 46 Publishing and it’s set in Cobalt in the early 1900s. If you’re a Northerner, or even if you’re not, you need to read this mysterious gothic tale. @lat46publishing @river_street_writes

language cannot hold its weight.
