Summary

In a rain-slicked corner of Thorne Street, Agnes Thorne runs a somber little shop where no garment leaves untouched by sorrow. Cursed to mend the clothing of the dead, each stitch she makes draws restless spirits back—for peace, or for vengeance.When young apprentice Theo Rowe joins her, he believes the tales of cursed thread and hungry shadows are little more than bitter superstition. But when a grieving mother’s request goes awry and a child’s spirit breaks free, Theo finds himself ensnared in a haunting far more personal than he ever imagined.As the bodies pile up and the barriers between life and death fray, Theo’s search for truth leads him into the darkest corners of the shop—and of Agnes’s past. What he uncovers will force him to confront not only the curse’s origin, but the chilling realization that he has been part of it far longer than he ever knew.The thread must be bound. The hunger must be sated. And some garments should never be unstitched.In a place where every button sewn is a curse fulfilled, can Theo unweave the fate that’s been stitched into his own life… before it claims him completely?

    The town of Laveau sat in St. Gerard’s Parish, just outside of New Orleans. It was home to a proud, hardworking community of black and white residents. It was also home to a lie which held the people of Laveau unknowingly captive for decades. They sat comfortably in the shadow of falsehoods that previous generations had left behind. As sheriff, Jean “Pap” Papillon swore an oath to protect the community of St. Gerard Parish; even when it meant hiding the truth to protect the residents from themselves. Within the first year of his term, a murder gave birth to a lie. A lie that would hold the community captive for decades. Over the thirty years he served as Sheriff, he protected the community from a truth that, if revealed, could disturb the balance of power. Unfortunately, one small, seemingly insignificant incident would bring the truth out of the shadows. In "Bastards of the Bayou" Donald R. Guillory gives his audience a glimpse of the secrecy within a small southern town. Based on a series of true stories, the author demonstrates race, money, and jealousy can topple the peace of a sleepy rural town.
