The Sundowner’s Dance

The Sundowner’s Dance cannot be reduced to being called a “horror novel” - not that it isn’t because it is: part psychological thriller, part Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but it’s also a story of grief: grieving the loss of loved ones and of self and of fear: the fear of death and of losing oneself both physically and mentally. In The Sundowner’s Dance, Keisling has created a small town populated with characters that rival some of the best of Stephen King, with lives we are invested in and care for and with more than a little folk horror vibe.
