Southern Gothic Gray

Rusty Clay sits alone in his office. It is dead winter and he knows he should have waited out the season in Florida. He also knows something has lured him back to Alabama.

In walks local blogging celebrity Lucy Smith, wanting Rusty to find out who is trying to kill her. As a young girl, Lucy was the last person to see Rustys sister Lola—a cult music figure decades after her death—before she disappeared into thin air. Rusty knows a can of worms is about to be opened.

Then, Rustys old childhood buddy and national fishing show celebrity Duane Pylant claims Lucy is stalking him. What follows is a strange and unlikely sequence of events, all leading to the mystery of Lolas disappearance.

Everything would make sense, as it leads back to one man. But that man is dead.

Rusty ventures into a strange world of vampirism and bizarre realities to the resolution of something that has plagued his life since age eighteen.
