Description
Bull Ingram, a recent World War II veteran, is hired to find Ramblin' John Hastur, a mysterious blues musician whose dark music is said to drive men insane and raise the dead. Ingram's investigation takes him into the strange backwoods of Arkansas, where he uncovers rumors that Hastur has sold his soul to the Devil. As he closes in on Hastur, Ingram learns that the forces at work are far more malevolent than he ever imagined, and the consequences more painful than he could have ever foreseen. In this masterful debut of Lovecraftian horror and Southern gothic menace, John Hornor Jacobs explores the fragility of free will, the power of sacrifice, and the insidious strength of blood. With its dark and driving narrative, this novel is a gripping and unsettling read that will leave you questioning the true nature of evil. Published by Night Shade, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of horror and the supernatural.
