Publisher's Synopsis
"In GHOSTS OF GUTHRIE, Lara Bernhardt not only tells a tale full of excitement, terror, and compelling characters--a narrative that roars like a speedboat down the River Styx; she also does it against a profound background of ideas about faith and what it means in modern-day America. It's a wonderfully satisfying and cinematic novel, richer and deeper than it has any right to be."--John Wooley, author of Wes Craven: The Man and His Nightmares and co-author of The Cleansing trilogy
