Lonesome Holler

By Monica Brashears

From the author of the acclaimed novel, House of Cotton, comes an electric, haunting new
Southern noir following the residents of Better Tomorrow Trailer Park in the aftermath of
a gruesome murder.

Summer '97. Deadly sins. Misguided obsessions.

When Better Tomorrow Trailer Park's owner, Joe Candle, is found nailed to a cross in the center
of the lot, the police have one question for the park's eccentric residents: Who killed Candle?

No one is safe from suspicion. Not the pretty, calf-eyed cashier with a shadowed past, or the
barber and his strange, altered demeanor, or the young son of a cop who harbors a volcanic
temper.

As the investigation begins and satanic panic grips this small town in the heart of Appalachia, the
low-grade paranoia spreads beyond the borders of the park and the arrival of a lone, mysterious
detective throws the residents in for a loop. The questions that arise threaten the very existence
of Better Tomorrow, and the community is tested to its breaking point.

Set over the course of three scorching-hot days during the summer solstice, Lonesome Holler is a
beautifully written exploration of loneliness, a blue-tuned elegy for community, and a comedic,
devastating ode to the South.
