This is one of the better examples of horror/supernatural historical fiction that I have come across. Strong, developed characters with a main character that you will deeply care and root for. Jacqueline is young Creole slave living on a plantation in Louisiana. This is her story, Her abuse and adversity. Her pain.

This book takes the best parts of Alex Haley, Alice Walker, Anne Rice and Katherine Dunn and combines them into a slick engaging narrative. I will say though, that with the combination of themes and influences I was left wanting more in a couple of places.
