The Beasts of Vissaria County, by Douglas Ford
A single mother whose ex-husband is a monster meets literal monsters.
D&T Publishing, 2021, 228 pages
For Maggie McKenzie, repairing a shattered life becomes more complicated when a stranger takes up residence in the ruins of an old Florida estate with a macabre history. This stranger brings with him a sinister magic and an obsession with the disturbed grave of a witch.
Maggie’s troubled past becomes part of a larger, darker legacy of curses and bloody rituals, as well as a variety of beasts, both human and supernatural, that will prey upon her and those she loves.
The Beasts of Vissaria County is a mix-tape of gothic horror, a love letter to weird fiction and dubbed late-night horror films.
A wolf man, a witch, the ghost of Elizabeth Bathory, and other typical Florida residents.
