OrangeReviewStarIn the wake of World War I, the discovery of a little chapel in the woods promises healing to the traumatized citizens of Bellhaven, SC. On the brink of suicide after losing his wife and promising baseball career, Ellsworth Newberry is shaken from his stupor when he observes that his friendly, tight-knit community seems to be unraveling as residents turn on one another. Demonic forces are invading Bellhaven, and it's up to Ellsworth to find a way to fight and defeat this evil. Markert's (A White Wind Blew) restrained language and pacing enhances an already menacing tone. While the battle between good and evil is not a particularly original theme, Markert's unusual story line and compelling characters offer a fresh perspective.
VERDICT Readers looking for lighter horror will enjoy.
