Give Up The Ghost

---

Author's Blurb:

Follow spiritual vagrant, Atticus Remington Scutt, through the hypnotic, uncanny saturations of the South as he searches for his cousin's killer, and discovers that The Devil has indeed come back to Georgia.

Skilos Recommends:

Give Up The Ghost is a brief but surprisingly deep southern gothic novella, equal parts tragic and compelling. Much as True Detective feels at times like Cormac McCarthy translated into modern detective television, Give Up The Ghost feels like True Detective reworked back into a more explicitly supernatural tale. The prose is imagistic and fluid more than it is precise, but this tends to add to the mood rather than detract from it.

If the style is found wanting, Give Up The Ghost is short enough that it's over and done with fast enough to leave little residue, but the more likely outcome is that the reader is left wanting more, disappointed that P.C.M. Christ did not write either a longer book or more of them. Perhaps he's simply too busy fighting the Devil down in Georgia.
