Alabaster: The Good, the Bad, and the Bird

A year after her death in a burning barn, Dancy's Flammarion's now finds herself in a Hell of her own creation. A new evil haunts the sun-scorched back roads and ghost towns of the American South - murderous twins who command a legion of ghouls. Once again, Dancy must face down demons, those who walk the world unchallenged and those in her own shattered mind.Collects Alabaster: The Good, the Bad, and the Bird #1-5Praise for the work of Caitlín R.
