The Bog Wife

For generations, the Haddesley family has kept a covenant with the bog on their land: each generation sacrifices its patriarch, and in return the bog gives the heirs a wife. This time, no bride appears for the eldest son, Charlie, and the bargain, along with the family it holds together, begins to come apart.

Wenna, who has returned to the crumbling manor as her marriage falls apart, thinks they should end the covenant. Eda, who runs the house, wants to save it. A Southern Gothic horror novel told from the points of view of all five siblings.
