Ninety-Eight Sabers
0 - Default Title
Description
The Trenholm clan helped found Lower Congaree, South Carolina. Their land is cursed. Their abusive patriarch has croaked. Only heirs who attend the funeral will inherit.
But when Truluck Trenholm suffered his eventually-fatal stroke, oldest son Ash turned the haunted plantation into an enormously successful reality show-with all the attendant ethical issues of profiting off its legacy. Forced to tolerate the intrusion of California producers, grip guys, and cameras, toting a ton of childhood trauma, Ash's brother and cousins have plenty of animosity for each other, along with a strong aversion to the paranormal shenanigans of their childhood home. But when Truluck's funeral goes pear-shaped and the cousins are cut out of his will, Hollywood producers offer the deal of a lifetime: they'll turn the Trenholms into witchy Kardashians with a Southern drawl.
If the cousins walk away, they'll lose everything. But the farm's high strangeness keeps getting stranger. Something's happening on Cypress Bend. And filming might make it worse...
Combining the literary tradition of William Faulkner, Michael McDowell, and Octavia Butler with the shimmered lunacy of John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Elizabeth Broadbent's Ninety-Eight Sabers is a Southern Gothic novel about a family determined to stick together as history threatens to tear them apart. This is a book that asks how we live with the past-and how we accept our responsibility for it in the present.
