Graveyard Springs
James Jules Kelly is a Penobscot-Indian, Scots-Irish mix who incessantly struggles with his inner smartass. After inheriting his grandparents’ property, James returns to his hometown with his wife and young son.
On the journey, James finds that the shade of the family’s recently deceased dog has attached itself to him…and won’t go away.
Once in Fountain Springs, James realizes someone, through legal wrangling, is trying to steal his land and the home he inherited. James’s elders are being attacked, one by one. Locals are stalking James’s home, his wife, his child.
Also, his Grandma Edee’s spirit has not departed and reveals to James that an unseen, evil entity has plundered his reality. And that sinister force wants to eat up his wife’s bright soul.
When James’s wife and son are kidnapped, everything comes to a head. James must bond with his newly found family members (African-American, Scots-Irish mix) and use the familial “wilding” to overcome his grim circumstances or be gobbled up by human greed and an evil off its tether.
