Grove of Night

THE HOUSE HAS A WOMAN AGAIN.

Rosemary Plantation has stood undisturbed since Sherman's army marched across Georgia. The grand house was built for a beautiful French bride whom the townspeople still whisper about. Solange Rabalais, it is said, died raving mad, pregnant with a child fathered by no man.

The lush, succulent rosemary hedges she brought from France still flourish. Wild now and overgrown, they seem to protect the house, smothering it almost in a thick, tangled embrace. Inside, the house has been quiet since the last woman to live there died alone, in terror, her frantic warnings unheeded.

But now the house again has a beautiful mistress, a young lady who does not believe in evil, who does not like superstitious gossip…who may be the perfect vessel for the vile, obscene passions of Hell.
