Saint Nellie

Single mother Caroline and her daughter Mia Taylor are doing their best to navigate Blackwell's sticky, hateful summer while wrapping up some unfinished family business. However, Blackwell's strange locals and resurging history of racial violence are only the beginning of a journey that rapidly spirals out of control, putting Caroline and Mia face to face with the town's hateful one-eyed "witch", Nellie McGruder. Finding themselves trapped between the whims of this sadistic recluse and a twisted pastor, the two will unearth the dark, rotten truth of Blackwell's history, and in doing so may also find a fate worse than death. Saint Nellie is a haunting suspense novel that's been called a "tour de force", a "one sitting read", and "so disgusting it's downright spectacular". Find out what the buzz is about, and jump into the debut horror novel from Odal Madsen. A story that pulls no punches, and hammers the reader with unflinching depictions of prejudice, violence, and disturbing occult imagery.
