Hellbender

In 1946, hell is breaking loose in Jade City, Texas, and when 15-year-old Bobby Graywood’s Affliction reveals a terrifying secret about the new pastor, he finds himself pitted against absolute evil in a fight to save the people he loves. Hellbender, a Southern Gothic, coming-of-age novel, follows Bobby through the summer of 1946 as small-town politics, minor league baseball, and a series of horrific events bring together a unique cast, including Newton Hellbender, the ominous new preacher, and his weasely sidekick, Randall Goode. With the help of Jubal Moss, an outcast Cajun ballplayer just returned from World War II, can Bobby embrace his Affliction and prevent the destruction of all he holds dear? “The horror is fantastic, with Craven skilled enough to peel away the layers with particularly well-done pacing and… a narrative laden with dark humor.” –Readers’ Favorite (5-star review).
