Songs on the Water - Jackson Culpepper - Bog

Hard-living tricksters, backwoods queers, and vengeful scoundrels collide with Southern-gothic history, religion, and apocalypse, pushing the boundaries of time-tested traditions in Songs on the Water, a story collection set in south Georgia. From teenagers swiping moonshine and trespassing in the swamp despite its dangers, to desperate linemen facing both their jobs and existentialism, to troublesome ghosts and a trip through hell itself, these characters must face the very real and the mystical trials that the land and its history put before them. Sure, there are moments of blessing and glory, but only after raging fires and the haunted shadows of the cypresses.
