About this ebook

Winner of The Guardian's Not the Booker Prize

Fielding Bliss has never never forgotten the summer of 1984: the year a heatwave scorched the small town of Breathed, Ohio. The year he became friends with the devil.

When local prosecutor Autopsy Bliss publishes an invitation to the devil to come to the country town of Breathed, Ohio, nobody quite expects that he will turn up. They especially don’t expect him to turn up as a tattered and bruised thirteen-year-old boy.

Fielding, the son of Autopsy, finds the boy outside the courthouse and brings him home, and he is welcomed into the Bliss family. The Blisses believe the boy, who calls himself Sal, is a runaway from a nearby farm town. Then, as a series of strange incidents implicate Sal — and riled by the feverish heatwave baking the town from the inside out — there are some around town who start to believe that maybe Sal is exactly who he claims to be.

But whether he’s a traumatised child or the devil incarnate, Sal is certainly one strange fruit: he talks in riddles, his uncanny knowledge and understanding reaches far outside the realm of a normal child — and ultimately his eerily affecting stories of Heaven, Hell, and earth will mesmerise and enflame the entire town.

Devastatingly beautiful, The Summer That Melted Everything is a captivating story about community, redemption, and the dark places where evil really lies.

PRAISE FOR TIFFANY MCDANIEL

‘There’s more than an echo of To Kill a Mockingbird here … though Fielding’s journey from innocence to experience is a whole lot darker than Scout’s … Atmosphere is key when it comes to southern gothic, and the summer heat licks like hellfire through McDaniel’s pages … The Summer That Melted Everything is a genuinely unnerving, deliciously dark tale of the evil that lies in ordinary people.’ The Independent

‘Gently written, allegorical, domestic, with myths of the underworld explored like never before through the eyes of a man looking back on his sins. One of the most beautiful books of the year.’ The Listener

    And so we were, on into the night, two boys sharing a light and building a way, one leaf at a time.

    It's 1984 and a heatwave like no other has hit Breathed, Oh. Arriving with the heat is a 13-year-old boy with dark skin and green eyes, answering an invitation meant for the devil. Fielding Bliss' family is happy to open their doors to Sal, but as accidents occur, and Fielding's family begins to suffer, the community is quick to believe that maybe the boy really is the devil. Fielding's small, conservative town soon turns into a hotbed of religious hysteria and panicked emotion, causing the two boys to experience life lessons meant for an age much older than thirteen.

    A foolish mistake, it is, to expect the beast, because sometimes, sometimes, it is the flower's turn to own the name.

    The Summer that Melted Everything took me out of my comfort zone and made me look at myself, my small world, and what's taking place around me. Though set in the past, it has relevance to the current politics taking place in the US today. It's an incredibly unique novel with beautiful prose that brings the heightened emotions of 1984 Breathed, OH to life. The blurb, intentionally left vague, only touches the surface of what young Fielding goes through in the year of intense heat and the devil's visit. It's emotional and heavy and holds your attention from start to finish.

    You're either gonna be the leader of their belief of the victim of it. Both are dangerous things.

    I am usually a very fast reader, a novel of this length should take me a day or two, but I found myself having to take lengthy breaks from the story. The literary writing, though beautiful and descriptive, also brought the hard moments to life. The heavy subject matters of racism, homophobia, suicide, and religion, weighed on me and brought about a lot of thinking. The community in The Summer that Melted Everything was easily influenced, quick to pick up their torches and pitchforks, and allowed religion and mass hysteria to manipulate their actions. Caring and acceptance soon becomes gossip, anger, and abuse. As young boys of just 13, Fielding and Sal have experiences that age them, their wisdom well beyond their years. I hurt for them, for the rage that Fielding goes through as his world changes and the horrifying, sad acceptance that Sal had adopted in order to continue living normally. Ultimately, the strength of family and friendship outweighs the bad, but not without being affected heavily by the actions of others. Fielding's adult life continues to reflect the events of his thirteenth year, his sense of life and purpose warped by the damage inflicted and his regrets.

    Sometimes this world is like red fences in the snow. There ain't no hiding who we really are.

    Tiffany McDaniel did an incredible job with this novel, she truly brought to life the religious extremism and the cult-like following one person can gather when people need something to turn to in the midst of change. The characters were so unique and the general plot, in all its creepiness, was very well fleshed out. The relationships in this novel reflect what you see in day to day life, maybe even in your own family, and I loved that it was relatable in that way. It was unlike anything I have ever read and I highlighted so many of the complex passages. I could have easily continued to read about Fielding's life and while 1984 broke my heart for him, it was an incredible story to experience.

    We were all high risk. That heat brought out the throbs in hearts, the fevers, the things that couldn't be let go of. It was a perfect extractor of pain and frustration, of anger and loss. It brought everything to the surface and sweated it out.

    When the devil came to Breathed Ohio. Interesting but depressing

    The first thing I noticed when I started reading this novel was the tone, the writing. Southern gothic in Southern Ohio? Okay, I can go with that. Know little about Southern, Ohio so maybe it has more Southern in it than I thought. Takes place over the course of a single summer, a summer with an unprecedented heat wave, a summer that will change forever a family and the people in this town. The summer a devil appeared in answer to an invitation tendered by Autopsy Bliss. A devil that appears to be a young black boy.Narrated by a now elderly Fielding Bliss, same age as said devil, son of Autopsy who wrote the ad, a man who has not enjoyed life, but when you read this book one can certainly understand why. This book is dark, darker than dark and anytime a little light, a little beauty shines through you can be sure there is more darkness to follow. Yet, it is this very darkness that makes an impression, makes the book memorable. A town who believes that everything bad that happens is the fault of this young black boy, the devil. A town whose people will act against common sense and their very own nature to become something horrible. A young man struggling with his own sexual identity will come smack against the AIDS epidemic. A young Fielding forced to watch as his family and his life falls apart. I can't say I enjoyed this book, but it made a deep impression. Gorgeous writing. Lines that make you think. One in particular I can't seem to let go of. Paraphrasing, Fear, is the first shadow of ignorance." Covers so much of what happens in this novel and I find it applicable in the present, sadly in my own country.ARC from Netgalley

    My heart is breaking. This is a coming of age story following the life of 13 year old Fielding. In the summer of 1984, Fielding’s father invites the devil to town. To everyone’s surprise a young, ragged 13 year old boy comes to town claiming he was invited and is in fact the devil. Fielding is the first to spot the boy, Sal, and brings him home. Fielding’s family and the sheriff think Sal is a runaway and he ends up staying with Fielding’s family, the Blisses, until they can find Sal’s family. No one comes to claim Sal and the events that begin to unfold in town, including the unnaturally hot summer, are making frantic.

    Review based on an ARC provided by Netgalley. Many thanks to St. Martin's Press for this opportunity!

    I already suspected this would be out of my field of expectations—I mean, how can you envision a story about the devil coming to town? Still, this isn't a book I figured even after many pages. In fact, this is more like a book I'll spend a long time trying to figure out.

    How hard it is picking where to start and what exactly to say without revealing too much!

    Because he had wanted to see for himself, Autopsy Bliss sent out an invitation for the devil to come to Breathed, Ohio. When his son Fielding meets Sal and brings him home, a black boy who looks his age but says to be the devil, the town isn't as hospitable. As summer of 1984 brings intense heat to town, all things melt.

    The main win of this book is its exquisite voice, I could hardly believe this was a debut novel. Narrated by the septuagenarian Fieldings, he looks back on the scalding summer of 1984, when he was still a thirteen-year-old in the small town of Breathed, and how those events came to define his life hereafter. The plot is all different and so is the technique but from beginning to end the voice reminded a little of My Sunshine Away, an omen I was in for a real ride.

    This book starts as a little harder read—the prose is borderline poetic at times as well as filled with allegories and underlying meaning. Even the names a little too much, too cheesy when you're starting. However, it either got easier or I just stopped judging after the beginning. If you are a fan of underlining quotes, buy some markers as you'll have a feast.

    I wasn't expecting to love characters here, and I fell hard. Unfortunately, my love for Sal was something unfinished. Perhaps I was too focused on the mother's grief and especially on Grand's, my favorite of all. During my next reading I want to pay more attention to our boy-devil but for now I'd say the author could have worked better on presenting him. I know his life story is beautiful so I'm sure there is a potential there but I couldn't relate as much.

    And wow... I cried too many times. For a story about the devil coming to town, this sure almost melted down my lacrimal glands. The plot was well planned and you can simply feel things moving and taking place like the orchestra of an imminent tragedy. Although it broke my heart, I do like the feeling of a well-composed book.

    The author may have lost it a little toward the ending—perhaps the final 10–15%. The climax scene is the book's biggest flaw for me. I do understand and even appreciate the point I feel she tried to make but the execution was a little too much, the opposite from the beautiful narration and scenes she had brought together along the way. On account of that, the final turnover for Autopsy felt out of place, and Sal's ending lost a little of its shine.

    Because this story deals with perceptions and prejudice and deceit, picking up spoiler-free opinions is mission: impossible. You will have to take my word on this, the story brings up very good themes for discussion, even if, as above mentioned, the author wasn't so good concluding them. Or maybe right because she couldn't do it, I'd say this is ideal for reading along with someone, be it a buddy reading or a book-club reading. So what do you think about the devil?

    I don't recommend this for those sensitive about racial discrimination and homosexual contents. Especially the former could have received a better approach, in my opinion. I do remember seeing a couple of reviews from people uncomfortable and concluding the author condoned it; while I don't agree, I wasn't a fan of how she treated this. Also, even though this is mostly centered on a thirteen-year-old Fielding and has no explicit content, I would also warn a younger audience against this. It is a coming-of-age story of sorts but with too sensitive a topic, requiting some maturity on the reader's part.

    The book is not a quick read but it really grabs you after just a few pages. You won't take an eternity to finish—you'll be unable to put it down before it's over.

    An author to watch. This book is a blend of gothic, magical realism, and philosophy. It struck me as a rewrite of To Kill a Mockingbird done in lusher language and with more overt (sometimes wearyingly overdone) life lessons. Small acts of cowardice, failures of the heart, and the willingness of people to lay the blame for personal pain at the feet of some scapegoat -- it's enough to fuel a fascinating magical story. I would recommend this book, but I would not reread it. The writing is lush, and at times so well done you want to stop and savor it. Then in the next paragraph it's overdone or careless (repetitive), or the moral of the episode is hammered at you with an allegory or image that just makes you tired. I will definitely be looking for another book by this author. Voice and passion will be worth watching.

    The Summer That Melted Everything is an intimate look at human nature, and those things we label good and bad. A sparkling debut novel, that was heartfelt and honest. The summer of 1984, finds Fielding Bliss thirteen years old and coming face to face with "the devil" following an invitation his father had printed in the local paper. Immediately a heat wave washes across the small town in Ohio and whispers of evil travel in the wake of Sal's arrival in the Bliss household. However, it is the residents themselves, that come face to face with the darkness that resides in each of us, through intolerance, discrimination, racism, and bias. An honest look at humanity in hatred and love, resentment and forgiveness, fear and acceptance. This novel touched my soul and I cannot wait to see what Tiffany McDaniel does next. Perfect for reading in the heat (or any time of year).

    I really enjoyed this one. I seem to always be on the hunt for something original and different when it comes to my reading and this one really hit the mark. I love a dark story and this one did not disappoint. Not only was the story dark, it really dealt with a lot of different things in an impressive manner. I thought that the writing was beautiful and really added to the tale.The book is mostly set in the summer of 1984 in the little town of Breathed, Ohio. There are a few flashes into Fielding's future where we learn how deeply the events of that summer impacted his life. At the start of the book, Fielding meets a little black boy wearing a dirty pair of overalls. This boy says that he is the devil and came due to the invitation set forth by Fielding's father but asked to be called Sal. Sal quickly becomes another member of the eclectic Bliss family.The town of Breathed isn't nearly as welcoming to Sal. Since he is the devil, he is blamed for lots of things that go wrong. Despite the feelings against Sal, he seems to be one of the most level headed characters in the story. The advice he shares with Fielding and the rest of his new family shows a wisdom that is truly remarkable. Sal, Fielding, and the rest of the Bliss family were really colorful and interesting characters that all added a lot to the story.The writing was spectacular. Seriously. I am amazed that this was the author's debut novel. The way this story was put together really shows remarkable skill. The words flowed in such a way that it was really a treat to read this book. I almost felt like I was there with the Bliss family since the descriptions in the book were so vivid. I thought the pacing was very well done with a lot of difficult topics being covered.I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for something dark and different. The writing and the story are equally strong in this wonderful little story. I rarely accept review requests from authors but I am so glad that I decided to take a chance on this book. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future and can't wait to see what else Tiffany McDaniel will come up with next.I received a copy of this book from Tiffany McDaniel and St. Martin's Press via NetGalley for the purpose of providing an honest review.

    WARNING!!!You will either love this book entirely or hate it utterly.Our story is narrated by Fielding Bliss who is now an old man telling you flashbacks back to the year 1984 when his father who was a lawyer and a man confused in his faith decided to put an letter in the paper inviting the devil to their little town of Breathed, Ohio. Everyone expected the devil to show up with horns and a pitchfork and a band of demons with a wall of fire behind him. But when the devil shows up in a form of a 13 year old black boy everyone is taken aback. The summer of 1984 was hot and as the temperature rises, so do accusations and hostilities in this little town. When heat and mob mentality combine bad things are bound to happen.Every once in a great while there is a book that pulls from me such a motion and it pulls straight from the heart. This was definitely one of those books. It not only made me cry profusely but it also made me question every life decision I've ever made. It challenged me as a person and the morals and belief systems that I have instilled in me. it made me question the friends that I've chosen and the neighbors that I've chosen to live beside. This book is not for the faint of heart. It is not something that I would recommend to just anybody. I caution you that though it is not a very long book it is a very heavy read. this book tore me apart in more ways than one. As I stated before you either love this book or you will hate it. There is no in between. And once you read this book I caution you that there is no going back.
