Thriller Psychological | Mystery
An extraordinary southern saga begun by Michael
McDowell and finished after his death by Tabitha
King. Known for his chilling Blackwater series, author Michael
McDowell left behind the unfinished manuscript for
Candles Burning upon his death in 1999. In the
spirit of the ghost stories that Michael loved, Tabitha
King has taken up where he left off, weaving a Southern
gothic fabric of murder, guilt, innocence, corruption, and
survival, in the voices of the living and the dead. Calliope "Calley" Dakin is just seven when her beloved
father is tortured, murdered, and dismembered by two women
with no discernible motivation. In the aftermath, Calley
and her mother find themselves caught up in inexplicable
events that exile them to Pensacola Beach, where-in a house
that's a dead ringer for Calley's late great-grandmother's
house-a woman awaits their presence. For Calley is no
normal little girl.
