Those Across the River

<< Prev page

I'm going out on a limb here by deciding to offer a different type of good read. Let me just say right up front that this book is not for everyone. But if you like a little darker and unsettling story, a little more of a thrill, and don't mind a bit of gore, a bit of sex, and a bit of the unknown, then this book is for you!

Read more...
The story takes place after the Great War (which ended in 1918). A husband and wife arrive in the quaint, sleepy little town of Whitbrow, Georgia. The husband, Frank, has inherited his aunt's house across the river from his family's old plantation estate with the explicit instructions to never live there and to sell the house immediately.

Since he is dreaming of writing a book, a free place to live is just too tempting to pass up, so they move in. While they find the townspeople quirky and charming at first, after a while it becomes clear that they are hiding something. He knows something terrible happened at the family plantation, but has no idea what.

The town has been sending a couple of pigs across the river as a sacrifice to something for years, which they believe keeps the town safe. Frank and his wife start to find out just what is across that river and why his aunt didn't want them to ever live there and, too late, they realize they should have listened!

So, as the nights get longer and darker, if you can stomach it, you might want to curl up and settle in with a story that will definitely give you chills. The book is beautifully written, pretty graphic, and deliciously horrible! I finished it in two sittings and can't wait until the author's next book! (One more warning: the story takes place in 1918 and some may find the language of that time offensive.)
