Atlanta Authors Presents Emily Carpenter

From the bestselling author of Burying the Honeysuckle Girls comes a bewitchingly foreboding story about sacrifice, privilege, family, guilt and the vengeful ghosts of a haunted past. In Gothictown, a restauranteur lured by pandemic-era incentives moves her family to a seemingly idyllic small town in Georgia, only to discover a darkness lurking beneath the sun-draped streets and Southern hospitality.
