The Dirge of Briarsnare Marsh
(2013)(The second book in the Dark Hollows Mystery series)
A novel by J Kent Holloway
A song of mourning...and warning.
From the depths of Briarsnare Marsh, the Yunwi Tsunsdi - the Little People - sing their dirge when death approaches to claim a soul. Sometimes though, even death can be fooled.
The residents of Boone Creek are shocked by the grisly discovery of seven mutilated corpses - their sons and daughters, brothers and sisters - but an even bigger surprise awaits them when the grave gives up its victims.
This miraculous resurrection has not gone unnoticed. The Leechers--thirteen men, doomed to walk for all eternity in the shadowland between life and death, bound by a curse to hunt those who would use uncanny power--unleash their judgment on anyone with a connection to those who have returned.
Now it's up to Ezekiel Crane, the enigmatic seventh son of a seventh son, to thwart the Leechers' grisly mission and discover who has sent them to wreak vengeance on the sleepy Appalachian hamlet he is sworn to protect.
The dirge is being sung. Death is coming to the Dark Hollows...with a vengeance.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
