Jeremiah Corday is mortally wounded in the battle of Trader's Hill, a Civil War conflict too obscure to be written into the history books. From this moment he is doomed to immortality. But he must pay a price. Nearly 100 years later Ramsey Paxton, bored with his mundane existence, pulls up stakes and invests his life savings in a dilapidated Georgia timber mill that comes with an antebellum style mansion. As he works to restore the neglected mansion, he discovers an ancient light bulb which, when turned on, discloses a horrifying past. Melba DeSoto, a big city newspaper reporter, returns to her hometown and meets her match in Ramsey Paxton. Together they experience unbelievable terror as their life-paths converge. Murder, hatred, alligators, and a mysterious swamp blend together in a riveting tale as violent death, both past and present, slithers through rural Georgia and pits good against evil.
