Civil War Cryptozoology
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on August 16th, 2014
Coming August 19th from Columbus Press and author Samuel Snoek-Brown is a novel that takes place during the Civil War in Louisiana which draws on Creole culture and the myth of the Rougarou, the Louisiana werewolf.
Available for pre-order at Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle versions.
“What we do we do to survive and they ain’t no sin in that. But lust? Whoo girl, you got to look out for that they lust. Worst sin they is. Sinners what lusted after the flesh in this world, they turn to animals in the next. Crawl around on all fours rutting like dogs and the brimstone burning off they knees, the skin of they palms. Some say the rougarous is lusters coughed up from Hell to walk the earth.”
As the Civil War winds violently down, fears of the South’s uncertain future fuse with its unraveling traditions. Against the backdrop of this post-apocalyptic landscape, so littered with corpses and mythology and desperation, two women, stranded and alone in the Louisiana bayou, fight to survive.
