Description
Father. Son. Holy Spirit. Three faces of the divine, three sides of human nature, three tales of damnation and ecstasy.
A Baptist congregation trapped in church must survive a hell of their own making, as well as each other. A youth group camping in the Louisiana wilds must contend with a monster older than sin and deadlier than the heat. A fundamentalist evangelizing in a rural town discovers horrifying truths about his God’s love and mercy.
Welcome to Louisiana, to its churches haunted by righteousness, to its forests baptized in holy fire, to its towns built on the grace of angels. Welcome to God’s own country.

Brynn C, Bookseller
If you like Southern Gothic stories, I need to stop and open (request??) this book. God's Own Country is a gem of gothic horror, FULL of extremely relevant religious discourse.
Galen B, Reviewer
Dark, character-driven novellas with a clear sense of place, a deeper undercurrent moving beneath these stories like an undertow, flowing beneath the outwardly calm surface. Horrifying indictment of the rot that grows at the heart of a Southern Baptist congregation. And between the moments of darkness, there are moments of glimmering pleasure. Love.
Thank you to NetGalley for my digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
