Description

Savannah, Georgia, is a city where the ordinary and the eccentric coexist. In this book, the author explores the darker side of its society, revealing a cast of characters who are as fascinating as they are flawed. From the residents of a city where a voodoo priestess works her magic in the graveyard at midnight, to the owners of a bottle of poison that could kill everyone in town, this book is a true-crime murder story and a travelogue that is both entertaining and perverse. The author's observations of the city's eccentric mores are unerringly observed, and its dirty linen is gleefully aired. This book is a bracing and intoxicating read, much like a refreshing mint julep on a hot summer's day. With its unique blend of true crime and travelogue, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the darker side of human nature and the quirky characters that inhabit it.
