Those Across The River

by Christopher Buehlman

The year is 1935. Failed Academic Frank Nichols and his partner, Eudora, have come south to claim an inheritance in the cursed and impoverished town of Whitbrow, Georgia. The nature of the curse is inextricably bound to the lost plantation once owned by Frank’s ancestor, Julien Savoyard, a man so brutal his slaves rose up and murdered him at the end of the Civil War. Frank means to find that plantation, write a book about Savoyard, and restart his career. But a blood debt is owed, and something in those woods has been waiting a long, long time to call it in.
