Tenth book of 2026. The Song of the Blue Bottle Tree written by India Hayford. 4.5โญ๏ธ #read #ghosts #southernfiction #booksky ๐๐
On a brisk February morning while walking to the diner where she works, 24 year-old Ruth Foster is stopped by the local sheriff. He insists she accompany him to a health clinic, threatening to arrest her if she doesn't undergo testing in order to preserve decency and prevent the spread of sexual disease. Though Ruth has never shared more than a chaste kiss with a man, by day's end she is one of dozens of women held at the State Industrial Farm Colony for Women. Some are there because they were reported for promiscuity by neighbors, husbands, strangers. Some were accused of prostitution. Others were just pretty and unmarried. Or poor and suspicious. One was eating dinner alone in a restaurant. Another spoke to a soldier.ย Josephine's sin was running a business as a single woman.ย Maude's was trying to drown her sorrows. Frances had lost her mind. Opal married a man with a mean streak. Some, like 15-year-old Stella, are brought in because they're victims of assault. She's too naive and broken to understand how unjust this imprisonment is. Superintendent Dorothy Baker, convinced that she's transforming degenerate souls into upstanding members of society, oversees the women's medical treatment and โtraining" until they're deemed ready for parole. Sooner or later, everyone at the Colony learns to abide by Mrs. Baker's rule book or face the consequencesโsolitary confinement, grueling work assignments, and worse. But some refuse to be cowed. Some find ways to fight

Early Praise for GODFESTATION by JENDIA GAMMON "Slinking through the cracks between the familiar and the uncanny, Godfestation evokes the glimmer of something surreal lingering at your periphery. Jendia Gammon's poignant prose captures the melancholy ache of nostalgia, the monstrous manifestations of loss, the liminality of grief, and the resilience of confronting what haunts us before we can move forward." - Ren Hutchings, author of The Legend Liminal and Under Fortunate Stars August 2026 via Sley House Publishing Preorders Forthcoming
Thank you @voidcricket.bsky.social for this beautiful blurb for GODFESTATION, my Appalachia weird horror, arriving August 2026 via @sleyhouseeditor! Cover reveal and preorders are coming soon.
