Swallerjaw

di Tif Robinette (Autore)

Macmillan Audio, 2027

Tif Robinette’s Swallerjaw blends swamp-drenched, occult horror with generational trauma and twisted faith in a stunning southern gothic horror debut. The swamp doesn't give gifts; only trades. Like the swamp that surrounds it, the once prosperous town of Festus holds many secrets. A pole dancer, Crystal, takes care of her granny as best she can and tries to keep a promise to her dead mother: to wait for her brother to come home. Seven years ago someone took the boy, and the case remains unsolved. The officer assigned to that case died, leaving his widow, Athena, to do her best to raise their young son. When seven-year-old Early goes missing, she has to reopen old wounds and old case files to try to find him. Gravedigger brothers Grant and Tick Bittergreen were always warned by their gatorwitch mother not to accepts gifts from the swamp. But the swamp has given up a skull, and it’s not long before its appetite claims a human victim, and it demands a new body. As the novel builds to its extravagant, bloody conclusion, the twisted secrets of Festus’s past are revealed. To save themselves, the gravediggers, the stripper and the grieving mother must confront their cursed blood and the horror that the swamp has birthed.
