Chapelwood: The Borden Dispatches

Description

Birmingham, Alabama, is infested with malevolence. Prejudice and hatred has consumed the souls of its populace. A murderer has been carving up citizens with a hatchet. And from the church known as Chapelwood, an unholy gospel is being spread by a sect that worships dark gods from beyond the heavens. The church's parishioners plan to sacrifice a young woman to summon beings never meant to share reality with humanity. An apocalypse will follow in their wake that will scorch the earth of all life. And only Lizzie Borden can stop it.

Cherie Priest is the author of more than a dozen novels, including the award-winning Clockwork Century series (Boneshaker, Dreadnaught, Clementine), the Cheshire Red books (Bloodshot, Hellbent), and The Borden Dispatches (Maplecroft, Chapelwood).

Praise for Chapelwood "Chapelwood is devious, twisted and beautifully written. Cherie Priest is one of our very best authors of the fantastic. Brava!"-Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Ghostwalkers and Predator One Praise for Maplecroft "Cherie Priest is supremely gifted and Maplecroft is a remarkable novel, simultaneously beautiful and grotesque. It is at once a dark historical fantasy with roots buried deep in real-life horror and a supernatural thriller mixing Victorian drama and Lovecraftian myth. You won't be able to put it down."-Christopher Golden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Snowblind "Maplecroft is dark and lyrical, haunting and brined in blood. It is as sharp as Lizzie Borden's axe-and Borden herself is a horror heroine bar none."-Chuck Wendig, author of Blackbirds "One of the best Lovecraftian stories I've ever read."-io9
