Broken Branch, Alabama, serves as a refuge for the God-fearing, a shelter from the evils of the outside world. But who will protect them from the evil within? Trudy first met Otto and James after World War I, two traveling ministers, preaching the good word to anyone who’d take the time to listen. Together, they founded Broken Branch, a hideaway in Alabama where the faithful would be able to isolate themselves from the impurity of the rest of the world and live blessed lives in the eyes of God. But then the storms came, tearing apart their small compound, God’s punishment for hidden wickedness in their hearts. And when an old man wanders into Broken Branch, ranting about a secret hideaway and uncovers an old storm cellar that’s been hidden for years, Trudy begins to wonder what other secrets lie under the surface of their safe haven… Includes a preview of The Year of the Storm Praise for Broken Branch "The community of Broken Branch in John Mantooth's fine novella enacts the familiar American quest to found a religiously-pure settlement whose members might escape the evils and ills of the larger world—in this case, Depression-era America. A descendant of Hawthorne's Blithedale Farm, not to mention Puritan Plymouth, its inhabitants come the same discovery as their forebearers, namely, that they themselves contain more than sufficient darkness to undo their enterprise. Through a tight focus on the woman whose largesse has made Broken Branch possible, Mantooth portrays the movement from willful ignorance to painful wisdom. In these pages, tornadoes churn, stars fall burning from the sky, and a strange storm shelter offers a glimpse of another world full of awful beauty. Broken Branch offers compelling evidence of John Mantooth's ambitions and abilities as a writer."—John Langan, author of The Wide, Carnivorous Sky and Other Monstrous Geographies "John Mantooth's Broken Branch is filled with claustrophobic, creeping dread. It's a story of lies and belief, fear and deception, and it will stay with you long after you've finished the last page."—Damien Walters Grintalis, author of Ink

Lisette Auburn, a lovechild, was born out of wedlock against family orders. She grew up with her mother’s love and devotion, and her cousins' friendship, but high family expectations and well-kept secrets hung over her like dark shadows. Now a young woman, her happy life is turned upside down when a tragic death of a close relative opens a Pandora’s box of trouble. She finds herself caught in the middle of fierce conflict as the family's strength is put to the test and the elders' power challenged. For generations the elders have controlled with firm, unyielding hands, expecting them to live as dictated, but times have changed. Facing rebellion and division, the elders are forced to come to terms with their smothering love and domination to witness the fatal results in their children. No one is safe from the secrets or the pain unleashed, and no one is prepared for the destruction to come. Meanwhile, an unseen entity watches and guides them as a horrible chain of events sends their lives out of control. Will love and blood ties be enough to save them from themselves? Or will they need something, or someone, more powerful?

Cassie Ramsey’s nightmares are ruining her life. She left her birthplace of New Orleans and moved to Washington State in an effort to escape the mysterious past that has haunted her all her life. Abandoned as a child, she knows nothing about her parents. She knows only of her dreams—dreams that forcefully tug her away from her husband and daughter. Cassie can’t fight it any longer. She has to go back. Forty years before, a cruel shipping magnate named Bernard Moody raised two daughters, Margaret and Esther, in New Orleans. The sisters were bound for tragedy. When they fell in love with the same man, one sister was willing to do anything to get what she wanted, but what she wanted threatened to rip the already fragile Moody family apart. When Cassie finds out about these women and their unloving father, she is driven to uncover the truth about them. As she watches her own family fade away on account of her morbid obsession, the Moody family’s past could turn out to be her future. Is digging up the past worth ruining the future? Cassie must make this decision on her own as she searches for her heritage and the ghosts that haunt her dreams.
