Shadows Burned In

David Jackson leaves a successful law practice in the big city to return to the hometown he fled long ago. At its center stands Old Suzieâ€™s house, a grand home once the elegant jewel of a bygone era. Now abandoned, the house stands decaying, simmering in the townâ€™s tortured past. David thought heâ€™d buried his childhood nightmares along with his father in the town cemetery under six feet of dirt and thirty years of grief, but theyâ€™re not finished with him just yet. His wife and daughter find themselves in real danger from the unquiet phantoms of Davidâ€™s past. David Jacksonâ€™s childhood might just hold the key to what haunts Old Suzieâ€™s houseâ€”and his familyâ€™s salvation.

What Other Writers Are Saying:

Chris Pourteau's Shadows Burned In turned out to be much more than I was expecting....I read a lot of books from debut authors and frankly, a lot of times it can be a chore. With SBI, Chris had me from the very beginning. This is a debut book that you really should catch....Very literary in its aspirations, an abuse story that is so much more. â€” Michael Bunker, author of The Pennsylvania Omnibus

A great start for a new literary voiceâ€¦the storytelling and uniqueness of Mr. Pourteauâ€™s voice kept me reading on. A wonderful first attempt, and a sign of great things to come. â€” Roberto Calas, author of the Scourge series

This is that novel of childhood's end and adult's beginning. Of saying farewell to the things you love and that scare you and hello to things you're too scared to ever stop lovingâ€¦written extremely well and with incredible heart. Complex. Bittersweet. It doesn't let you go. I highly recommend this haunted tale. â€” Nick Cole, author of The Wasteland Saga
