About this item
Midnight is the Darkest Hour by Ashley Winstead is a gripping novel that delves deep into the sinister heart of Bottom Springs, Louisiana. Fans of Verity and A Flicker in the Dark will find themselves ensnared by this dark tale of murder, obsessive love, and the lurking primal urges within us all.
The story follows Ruth Cornier, a small-town librarian who has always felt like an outsider, despite her father's fire-and-brimstone sermons at Holy Fire Baptist. The townspeople, steeped in fear of God and the Devil, are also haunted by the myth of the Low Man, a vampiric figure said to prey on sinners during moonless nights. The discovery of a skull in the swamp, accompanied by mysterious carved symbols, throws Bottom Springs into chaos. Ruth, realizing the town's secrets are hers to uncover, teams up with Everett, a friend with a shadowy past, to seek out the true evil lurking beneath their town.
Winstead masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the complex intersections of love, religion, and folklore. Ruth's journey is not just a quest to solve a mystery, but an exploration of her own identity and power in a world that seeks to suppress her. The novel challenges the conventional expectations placed on women and critiques the ways in which society uses love, religion, and stories as tools of control. Midnight is the Darkest Hour is a powerful, dark examination of the monstrous work of being a girl in this world, and the lengths one must go to reclaim their power. 📚❤️
