Marching Through Georgia

    (Andrew Loder, 2023-Present)

(From the Publisher)

Our story is two fold. At times we follow a squad of Union soldiers' hunt for deserters that lures them into a long forgotten, abandoned plantation of haunted repute outside Savannah near the end of the American Civil War. Upon finding the decaying bodies of three hanged soldiers, they soon find themselves faced with demonic horrors that stem from an injustice long unquenched and gone sour.

At other times we watch the past, just prior to the Civil War, where we follow Elodie, a slave girl, and William, a plantation masters’ son, as they grow up together and bond. Of course, no good can come of Elodie and William’s forbidden friendship just as no good can come from the hanging of men. Behind young love and the love of country, is a dire hate.

The hate between slave and slaver, the hate between North and South, the hate that permeates all oppression and war. It’s a disfigured, chaotic, mindless hate that seeks to cause pain without reason. The brutal truth of the wrought, poisoned history of the land and the doomed love between slave and freeman is revealed through flashbacks.

As the two stories come together and our past meets our present, a demonic power coalesces, its wretched suffering corrupting the lands of Savannah. And as the sun finally sets on Georgia, its horror is revealed.
