YEEHAW JUNCTION by Kayli Scholz is a book like no other. This Florida Gothic novel perfectly describes those small, in between towns off highways where anything goes and things are lost in the asphalt cracks of decay. It will disturb you and linger with your conscience long after you finish reading. Scholz masters the voice and description of Skeet and his rotten world. I’ve driven through Yeehaw Junction a few times and grew up near a pocket sized Florida town, and the descriptions are spot on. I love the inclusion of police interviews and YouTube transcripts to help tell this dark narrative. I was reminded of the tragedy of Demon Copperhead, the bleakness of The Destructors, and the grittiness of the film Gummo.
