Description
An alternative cover for this ISBN can be found hereThis lyrical tale of evil, loss, and redemption is a stunning addition to the Southern gothic tradition of Flannery OâConnor and Harry Crews.A Choir of Ill Children is the startling story of Kingdom Come, a decaying, swamp backwater that draws the lost, ill-fated, and damned. Since his motherâs disappearance and his fatherâs suicide, Thomas has cared for his three brothersâconjoined triplets with separate bodies but one shared brainâand the townâs only industry, the Mill.Because of his familyâs prominence, Thomas is feared and respected by the superstitious swamp folk. Granny witches cast hexes while Thomasâs childhood sweetheart drifts through his life like a vengeful ghost and his best friend, a reverend suffering from the power of tongues, is overcome with this curse as he tries to warn of impending menace. All Thomas learns is that âthe carnival is coming.âTorn by responsibility and rage, Thomas must face his tormented past as well as the mysterious forces surging toward the town he loves and despises.
