Still, the book as a whole was a bit of a let down for me, especially coming off of the success that was Anderson’s The Boatman’s Daughter.įor one, almost all of the characters felt incredibly dull. The spooky, supernatural elements of the story were really compelling the fact that everyone in the town accepted the existence of ghosts, of talking dolls, of dogs in trees. Blacking out, the husband wakes up on the road to find his wife missing, and no bridge in sight. Driving to their campsite, they pass over a bridge that’s not on any map. The story takes place in a small town in Georgia, following a couple on their honeymoon. The Toll by Cherie Priest was my next venture into Southern gothicism, with a promising tagline and narrative.
