All is Set Anew

by Jim Cheney

 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

GENRE: Thriller, Supernatural Thriller

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

A fast-paced examination of loss, survival, and ultimately acceptance of those things we do not understand but must contend with as if our lives depend upon it.

 

From deep in the rural Tennessee woods, two brothers flee their murderous father only to find that a violent, supernatural force has followed their escape and will haunt their family for multiple generations.

 

All Is Set Anew is the story of abandonment and its subsequent revenge, set against a backdrop of characters imprisoned by poverty and self-doubt and their struggle to outrun the evil and illness that relentlessly pursues them.

EXCERPT:

 


 

That afternoon Mary found Edgar at the hog pens and she told him that she wanted to speak with him after supper. She spent the rest of the day packing suitcases for her husband and tidying things around the house. LoLo moved about the rooms silently and Mary worried that her decision was poorly chosen each time the woman’s eyes met hers. It was not a critical exchange of glance, but the way that LoLo diverted her eyes too quickly gave Mary a sinking sensation that made her want to ask her what she would do if the decision was hers. Mary’s upbringing had been as pragmatic as it was cultured, so she looked to facts when challenged. They had let a man like Hicks onto the place. Logic told her that he had raped Katherine, although she could not prove it. Her daughter Renee had left with him, although she could not prove that either. Katherine was alive, and while traumatized, Mary believed that she could guide her back to health. If it got out that Katherine had been raped by a man that Renee had run off with, the impact to the family and its reputation would be devastating. And when she imagined her husband’s reaction to any of this, she felt as helpless as someone looking out over an arid field, begging the merciless, baking sky for relief. Katherine will recover, she told herself. She has enough of me in her that she’ll find her way through.

  1. How did you come up with the idea for this book?

  2. Hey Kim. Thank you very much for asking. There is a scene in the novel, about halfway through, that takes place at a rest stop. I envisioned the early stages of the book from that scene and then went back and filled in all of the holes. I find that often fiction has a way of building itself in the subconscious and eventually the characters find a way to pick the lock and get out. Happy to discuss more if you would like. My email is jim@prufrockcommunications.com. Feel free to engage. PS: responding to this via phone, so pardon any errors in the typing.
