ABOUT THE BOOK

 

From the critically-acclaimed author of
Welcome to the Fallen Paradise
comes a gothic treatment of the American South: a hard-charging depiction of religion, family, friendship, deception, and evil.

Zion
is a literary mystery set in the rural South, the story of a war fought over the killing of hardwoods in Baxter Parish, Louisiana. The tale begins in 1964 and ends a decade later, but the Hardin family, faithful members of Little Zion Methodist Church, will carry the scars for life.

Welcome to the Fallen Paradise: A Novel
By Dayne Sherman
Tenth Anniversary Edition
First Published by MacAdam/Cage in 2004
Reprinted by Accendo Books in 2015
Baxter Parish, Louisiana, is a bloody place where family tradition is stronger than the law and pride more valuable than life. Thirty-year-old Jesse Tadlock returns home to Packwood Corners to claim his inheritance after a peaceful, if not dull, twelve-year Army hitch. With a steady job, a past love back in his life, and his own land, he thinks he’s outlasted the legacy of violence that has haunted his family.

But the morning after his first night in his new home in Mount Olive, a neighbor turns up at his door with a loaded rifle on his arm and a bloodthirsty pit bull in tow. Balem “Cotton” Moxley says he was born in this house and he’ll die there, or Jesse will.

With his Uncle Red pushing him to deal with the threat the old way—meeting fist with blade, bullet with bomb—at odds with his desire for a simple peace, Jesse must find a way to stand up and save his own, even if it means losing everything to the fires of pride.
