Intriguing and provocative, Blue Bottle Tree is a macabre story that explores a different twist on the modern Gothic adventure." -Verified Reviewer

"Darkness and humor, bitterness and longing - the power of the heart is at the epicenter of this tale of voodoo and the dead." -Casey Dunn, Author ofSilence on Cold River

Fans ofThe Southern Book Club’s Guide of Slaying Vampires and Summer Sons will utterly obsess over this unforgettable romp through a small southern town’s darkest secrets…

There's no such thing as Voodoo. At least that's what most of the Baptists in Bellin tell themselves. But Seven LaVey knows better. In a small rural town just outside of Nashville, Voodoo conjures and curses simmer and seethe under the noses of the many who will never know. Seventeen-year-old Seven romanticizes about the meaning of life while held captive as a zombie under the shell of a kiddie pool. He's counting on the strength - and maybe even love - of a certain redheaded clarinet player to save him. But will she?

Filled with betrayal and revenge, two families struggle with a curse that stretches back to Queen of the Voodoos Marie Laveau in this contemporary Southern Gothic adventure.

Prepare for a wildly original twist on the paranormal.
