The Wraith
of Carter's Mill
By C.
Evenfall
Genre:
Paranormal/Suspense
The Wraith
of Carter’s Mill chronicles five generations of women from the turn of the
century to present day. It depicts in startling detail the result of an old
curse and the wraith that haunts the family. Sensitives, The Guardians and The
Forgotten tell the tale while the fourth shocking segment, Carter’s Mill
provides the back-story. It reveals the shameful truth behind a century of
sorrow and the curse of revenge that plagues the Carter women.
Zeb, the
Carter family patriarch, is a hard, callous man. He runs his thriving sawmill,
farm and family with an iron fist. When he commits an incredible act of
cruelty, he ignorantly brings a terrible curse down upon all his kin. Martha
Thompsons’ prophecy proves true as the family falls into ruin, and the women pay
the price.
Almost a
century after Zeb’s death, a Carter daughter is born with notable yet uncanny
gifts. It will be up to Shyanne to unearth a long buried family secret and set
an old wrong back to rights. Will she find a way to lift the curse and banish
the accursed wraith that haunts her? If she fails, she risks losing her own
little girl to the dark entity forever.
A small
North Carolina community, where everyone knows everyone sets the perfect stage
for this suspenseful drama. Rich in history and southern culture, The Wraith of
Carter’s Mill harkens back to a time when life was simpler, and superstition
was part of everyday living.
My Review
The layout of this book is very cool. I love how the author linked each generation of the Carter family to each other through sections, so it's like you are getting both a collection of short stories as well as a complete novel.
The stories revolve around an entity that is following the family through the different generations along with the spiritual gifts that some of the women in the family have. I enjoyed the eerie descriptions of the paranormal events. I found this collection to be very fulfilling and look forward to reading more from this author.
Author Bio
C. Evenfall
grew up on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. In many ways, her community was
isolated from the outside world, and time simply stood still. The old ways of
“doing things” surrounded her, and she was both fascinated by the rich history
and influenced by it.
As with any
such place, the area was rich with ghost lore and old tales of “people done wrong.”
C. Evenfall, a child seen and not heard, hovered as close as she dared,
listening to the old stories when the adults got together talking about old
times. She also spent many nights with the sheet pulled over her head in
childish fright.
A paranormal
encounter when she was just six years old, experienced by two other people at
the same time, convinced her that ghosts really did exist. C. Evenfall has been seeking answers ever
since. Her fascination with the unexplainable, coupled with her love of history
and southern culture and the role women play in both, have inspired her to
write The Wraith of Carter’s Mill, a series of novellas. Each inspired by tales
from her childhood and the family members who passed them down.
Life has
taken her many places, but today, C. Evenfall resides with her husband in the
same fishing village where she grew up. Together they enjoy hiking, camping,
gardening and the outdoors in general. She forgives his skeptics’ dismissal of
things that go bump in the night and loves him dearly in spite of it. They
complement one another perfectly.
