Southern Gothic Novels by Rhodi Hawk - November 21, 2012

Looking for some Southern Gothic/paranormal thrillers to read over the holiday weekend? 



The Tangled Bridge
Twisted Ladder 2
Tor Books, October 30, 2012
Trade Paperback and eBook, 528 pages

Psychologist Madeleine LeBlanc is desperate to escape the madness that has followed her family for a century. She’s struggling to adjust to her new-found power and to stick to the pact that protects her sanity.

But an innocent little boy is being hunted—by Madeleine’s half brother and her great-grandmother, Chloe, and by the demons they control. The boy is a threat to their bloodline, to their very nature, but Madeleine cannot let his young life be callously destroyed.

Thrust into an age-old battle of dark versus light, Madeleine dives deep into the history of her family and into the vast paranormal underworld of New Orleans, a world seemingly controlled by her great-grandmother.

The only way to stop Chloe lies past the tangled bridge that could lead to great power…or total destruction.



A Twisted Ladder
Twisted Ladder 1
Tor Books, August 31, 2010 (reprint)
Mass Market Paperback and eBook, 544 pages

Psychologist Madeleine LeBlanc has spent her whole career trying to determine the cause of her father's schizophrenia. She always felt that if she could unravel the disease’s origins, she could cure the man who left her and her brother, Marc, to practically raise themselves on the Louisiana Bayou. When Marc takes his own life, Madeleine embarks on a shocking journey into her family’s history—fraught with dark secrets, conjured demons, and a powerful relative who puts Madeleine’s own life and property in peril. The only way to she can save herself is to face the ghosts of the past, the dangers of the present, and the twisted ladder that links them all together.
