Read Local with RHPL: Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt


August 31, 2016

Mr. Splitfoot, a moody, chilling story takes place in the Troy NY area where an aunt and niece grow up each in their own difficult circumstances.  It is told in alternating chapters between the two generations. New York Times critic Gregory Maguire calls it "haunting and glowing," and states:

"I’ve dog-eared so many pages in honor of vivid prose that my advance reader’s copy of “Mr. Splitfoot” curls up with fattened corners. Hunt renders as ornate and magical the tired landscape of Troy and upstate New York — and I say this as a native of that area, with high regard for its quiddities."
