Chapelwood

By Cherie Priest

Book Overview

From Cherie Priest, the award-winning author of Maplecroft , comes a new tale of Lizzie Borden's continuing war against the cosmic horrors threatening humanity... Birmingham, Alabama is infested with malevolence. Prejudice and hatred have consumed the minds and hearts of its populace. A murderer, unimaginatively named "Harry the Hacker" by the press, 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. This darkness calls to Lizzie Borden. It is reminiscent of an evil she had dared hoped was extinguished. The parishioners of Chapelwood plan to sacrifice a young woman to summon beings never meant to share reality with humanity. An apocalypse will follow in their wake which will scorch the earth of all life. Unless she stops it...

Customer Reviews

I love this duology.

I love this duology and this writing style - combining real action and conversation with occasional thoughts from other characters, letters, newspaper articles. The plot of this is coming from multiple sources. A cult is violently bringing about astronomical change - doom on all the world. But Lizzie Borden still has an axe. And she isn't alone.
