Cinderwich

<div><p><span>“Who put Ellen in the blackgum tree?” </span></p><p><span>Decades after trespassing children spotted the desiccated corpse wedged in the treetop, no one knows the answer.</span></p><p><span>Kate Thrush and her former college professor, Dr. Judith Kane, travel to Cinderwich, Tennessee in hopes that maybe it was their Ellen: Katie’s lost aunt, Judith’s long-gone lover. But they’re not the only ones to have come here looking for closure. The people of Cinderwich, a town hardly more than a skeleton itself, are staunchly resistant to the outsiders’ questions about Ellen and her killer. And the deeper the two women dig, the more rot they unearth … the closer they come to exhuming the evil that lies, hungering, at the roots of Cinderwich.</span></p><p><span></span></p></div>
