The Books Oracle

Curdle Creek

by Yvonne Battle-Felton

In the all-Black town of Curdle Creek, ritual sacrifice controls the population in a system of brutal lottery. Battle-Felton's Shirley Jackson Award-winning novel reimagines "The Lottery" through the lens of Black Southern experience. This is horror that indicts systems of power and the communities that perpetuate their own destruction.
