The Curse of the Crimson Cypress

Dr. Ambrose Rowan, a bright young physician in 1838 Savannah, answers a desperate plea from his old friend Julia Moreau: her husband, Samuel, is wasting away on their isolated Georgian plantation, and no mortal ailment can explain his hollow eyes or the strange bite-marks on his throat. Venturing into the swamp’s suffocating heat and cloying moss, Ambrose follows blood-shadowed paths toward the decaying manor known as Crimson Cypress. There, beneath ancient cypress giants and the hush of hungry darkness, he will unearth a nameless evil older than the land itself—and discover that some bargains demand a price far more terrible than death.
