"Tiffany McDaniel’s Betty is both macabre and sublime. Echoing authors like William Gay and Toni
Morrison, the book presents American gothic in a way that is at times as deeply disturbing as one might expect. However, what makes this book exceptional is that McDaniel understands and respects her audience enough to know when and about what her reader needs to be deeply disturbed. Betty is a novel that transcends its own darkness and yet never fully sheds the shadows that haunt and shape its characters from beginning to end. I would argue that there is more of hope and redemption in Betty than struggle, horror, and grief, but, agree with that or not, it is an undeniable pleasure to read Tiffany McDaniel write about it all. Betty is an excellent book. Read it and be glad you did."
