NEW! The Gallows Tree: A Mothman's Tale
Author
Susan Sheppard grew up only hills away from the first sighting of the West
Virginia Mothman that occurred on November 14, 1966. This spectacular event
helped shape Sheppard's imagination and set the tone for her future writings.
Between 1966 and 1967, one hundred sightings of the Mothman were reported by
local media. By 1968, the Mothman had disappeared. But his story did not end
there. In The Gallows Tree: A Mothman's Tale, the peaceful landscape of West
Virginia is shattered by a being that can only be described as a part-human,
part-ghoul - a red-eyed, winged beast. Sheppard re-imagines her tale and builds
a world for her Mothman through a cast of characters that includes an alcoholic
preacher, ghosts of lynched slaves and a beautiful witch queen ruling over local
ghouls. In this book, mixed with a dreamlike setting, the Mothman not only comes
to West Virginia, he finds his humanity in one stunning final victory.
