SciFi/Fantasy
The swamp bordering Sterling's small Louisiana town, is contained both by a fence and long-established rituals. Aside from superstitious folktales, no one speaks of the swamp as a real threat, but no one crosses the fence, either-until Sterling's brother, Phineas, bolts into the swamp after a fight and disappears. A girl named Lenora May returns in his place, and everyone believes she is Sterling's sister. If not for the charmed bracelet Sterling wears, she would have forgotten Phineas, too, but memories of her brother are strangely superimposed with memories of Lenora May. Only troubled loner Heath believes her, because he lost someone to the swamp, too. Parker's assured debut is a creepy southern fairy tale set in a town infused with an undercurrent of supernatural menace.
