Georgia’s tarnished past unleashes an otherworldly evil in this “marvelous novel ... southern gothic at its best” (Charles L. Grant, author of the Black Oak series).

Lazarus was his name, an evil which rose from the dead off a slave ship to control the Georgia plantation with fear and the obeah: the evil instruments of conjure. Does his evil and his anger extend beyond the grave beyond space and time? Elizabeth Franklin Jefferson, called “Frankie” by her friends, is a descendant of slave owners and sensitive to the world beyond. But now Frankie and her cousin, Julian, have awakened an evil long thought put to rest: Lazarus and his deadly obeah. Now everyone in Frankie’s family has started to die—will Frankie be next?
