Stay the hell out of the swamp - the backwater town of Lower Congaree recites it like an eleventh commandment.Lower Congaree is a backwater of a backwater, a poverty-stricken South Carolina town where nail salons come and go, but the Marine recruitment center never closes. Swamp surrounds it, and strangeness stretches back as far as anyone can remember. For the first time, Undertaker Books has collected Elizabeth Broadbent's intertwined Southern Gothic stories, including her linked novella, Ink Vine. Swamp witches and standing stones, battered mansions and shoeless patriarchs, strip clubs and roadside diners-Lower Congaree blossoms with the otherworldly, the bizarre, the outcast and the outside of time.
INK VINE
When exotic dancer Emmy Joiner escapes to the swamp, she meets beautiful, long-legged Zara, the first girl she dares to kiss. But the small-town South hates a woman who dares to dance instead of plucking chickens for minimum wage. As Emmy's life falls apart, her relationship with Zara grows more tangled and bizarre. Zara's offering something beautiful. Its price may be more than Emmy's willing to pay.
