Overview

In the cursed town of Potter's Field, the dead are buried with silver coins and recited sins. K. Bengston's debut is a chilling blend of folk and religious horror set in the swamps of small-town rural America. Think The VVitch, The Blair Witch Project, and True Detective twisted together. Father Boone performs the burial rites, though they were never properly passed down, only patched together from scraps of memory. One too many mistakes and now something beneath the town is stirring... and the old rites no longer hold. Desiree, scorned and ignored, begins hearing children's voices in the rain. And Sawyer, a charming debt collector, vanishes into the woods... only to return changed. As the veil between folklore and flesh tears open, all three are pulled into the truth behind their crumbling faith. The rites are failing. Potter's Field is unraveling. And The Boatman isn't just a ferryman of the dead. For fans of T. Kingfisher, Felix Blackwell, and John Langan

Reviews

""Honestly, this doesn't even feel like a debut novel. The writing was solid, the story wrapped up really well, and now I just want more. In fact, I'd love to see an entire series set in the Potter's Field universe!"" - @thereviewnookph ""If I didn't know that this wasn't a debut novel I'd have assumed the author had been writing for years. This book is absolutely fantastic, well-crafted and hard to put down."" - Dan Freeman ""Listen. When I tell you it makes no sense that this is a new aurhor, you have to believe me. I was so lost at the start but I knew it would wind its path and make sense and it totally did. I really loved all the twists and turns and it is so much fun. You are going to love this one."" - Jesy Joy ""The Boatman was an awesome read. Most impressively, K. Bengston has crafted a universe palpable with gloom, horror, and swampy mysteries that lead the reader down an immersive path."" - Dylan James, Author of 'Cedar Mills'
