Antenora by Dori Lumpkin SIGNED
Antenora: Dante’s ninth circle of hell reserved for traitors to their country.What really happened to Nora Willet? The religious community of Bethel, Alabama can’t agree on the truth. They always said she was trouble. Later, they said she was possessed. Maybe she lost her mind, killing three people and injuring plenty of others.In a part confessional, part plea for Nora to come home, Nora’s childhood friend Abigail Barnes tells of another girl’s gruesome eighteenth birthday, of the time Nora may have fully revived a snake, of the intimacy of their private encounters at the lakeside, of Nora’s deliverance ceremony. Where, Abigail wonders, is Nora now?In this tender and horrific debut, religious dogmatism sniffs out two girls whose innocent affections threaten an entire town and way of life.LitjoyFairylootIllumicrate OwlcrateFae CrateBookish BoxSpecial EditionArcane societyGoldsboroWaterstonesBroken BindingTwisted RetreatNightwormsCreepy Book ClubHowl SocietySpooky Book
