Description

"This is the real stuff I'm always chasing, every chapter a warning, every page a curse, entirely irresistible to read even as you know reading it will damn you forever."

-Daniel Kraus, author of WHALEFALL

One brooding summer, Nadine Boone pricks herself on a poisonous manchineel tree in the Florida backcountry. Upon self-orgasm, Nadine conjures a witch that she calls Saint Grit. Pitched as Gummo meets The Craft, Saint Grit grows inside of Nadine over three decades, wreaking repulsive havoc on a suspicious cast of characters in a small town known as Sugar Bends.
