Abstract:
The Dark South, a Southern horror novel, tells the story of one man’s journey through a twisted version of the American South. Luke, a young man fresh out of college, finds himself stuck in the rural outskirts of Georgia in the wake of a mysterious, world-altering crisis. With the help of fellow survivors, Luke must contend with a bevy of killers and outlaws, while at the same time coming to terms with his own role in this new world. The novel outlines this action packed and at times horrific journey from start to finish, while also gradually revealing pieces of Luke’s past through a series of flashbacks. The novel is currently in its first draft. This section of the novel starts from the very beginning, and details Luke’s arrival in the South as well as the events that follow.
