A Wake in June

By Tom Saint

Who is Tom Saint? Is he a hallucination? A broken synapse? His psychiatrist at Appleton McLean Hospital classified him as a resident schizophrenic troublemaker who claims to be resurrected and endowed with supernatural powers. A Wake in June is a high-strung, richly-detailed fictional memoir that traces Tom's descent into madness. June 1926. Will Shay returns to Midian, Alabama to kill Hoyt and Heebee Webb-the corrupt sheriff and his brother who murdered Will's family. Will meets Jessamine-a woman who has opened a grocery in Midian selling miraculous goods. She wants to save Will from his malicious goal, but salvation seems impossible for anyone in this decrepit town, particularly Will's fianc?, Augusta-Louise. She is suffering an Ophelia-like decline, hearing voices-a man named Tom Saint who insists he drank wine infused with dead souls, including her own. Tom lures her to the edge of her mind. Is he real? Tom Saint is doubtful.
