Publisher Description

A man must confront a terrifying evil in this captivating horror novel that’s “as much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz.”*

Haunted by memories of the Great War, failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family’s old estate—the Savoyard Plantation—and the horrors that occurred there. At first their new life seems to be everything they wanted. But under the facade of summer socials and small-town charm, there is an unspoken dread that the townsfolk have lived with for generations. A presence that demands sacrifice.

It comes from the shadowy woods across the river, where the ruins of the Savoyard Plantation still stand. Where a long-smoldering debt of blood has never been forgotten.

Where it has been waiting for Frank Nichols....

It’s Great!

Went into this book blind. I’m a casual reader but this one flew by quick. I will admit, I was a bit let down about what “they” are as I’m not typically a fan of those types of books. However, it made a lot of sense with the story, and ultimately ended in the most satisfying way. There were quite a bit of spine chilling scenes that are written for top notch disturbance. I felt like I was invested. Highly recommend if you like horror thrillers!

Straight up terrifying. I didn't know what to expect and this book has messed with me.

Decent read

Overall a decently written horror novel. It’s not quite as “scary” as I anticipated. It’s more of a creepy vibe. Too much sex, not enough “horror”.
