The Chambermaids: A Southern Gothic Horror Novel

By Leigh M. Hall

Claymore Award Winner for Best Southern Gothic

Wilbur and Elouise Saxton are forced to move south after losing their fortune following the Civil War. Hot-headed Wilbur was not happy about the adjustment, but his wife is glad to finally return to her home state. At least she was until they arrive at the home her late uncle left her, and find it in much despair. It also comes with a dark secret, something her family hid from her for good reason.

When two strange women knock on their door offering to help the couple, claiming they know the land more than anyone, those secrets unfold. While Elouise loses her mind, Wilbur is already lost under a spell cast by their young, charming chambermaids.

What was supposed to be a dream come true is slowly turning into a nightmare.

Elouise must fight not only her life but her husband's as well. Will her days ever return to normal, or was this the future assigned to her all along? Did she ever have a choice?

Sinister is what comes to Elouise's mind when she pieces the clues together, but that does not even begin to cover what is really going on.
