Publisher's summary

David Binder is a young, successful writer living in Chicago and suffering from writer's block. He stares at the blank page, and the blank page stares back - until inspiration strikes in the form of a ghost story that captivated him as a child. With his pregnant wife and young daughter in tow, he sets out to explore the myth of Virginia Beale, Faery Queen of the Haunted Dell. But as his investigation takes him deeper and deeper into the legacy of blood and violence that casts its shadow over the old Beale farm, Binder finds himself obsessed with a force that's as wicked as it is seductive.

A stirring literary rendition of Tennessee's famed Curse of the Bell Witch, Little Sister Death skillfully toes the line between Southern Gothic and horror and further cements William Gay's legacy as not only one of the South's finest writers but among the best that American literature has to offer.

The book did have an ending.

I did read the past reviews and noticed they say no ending. It did. You just had to really know I guess. I was born and raised in this area so maybe I just understood .

Great narration, disappointing ending

What happened at the end? I listened to it twice, but it fell pretty flat both times. Maybe there’s a chapter or two missing? Or… we’ll, I have to get the printed book to read more carefully.
Great narration, though.

Disappointing end

The ending really just petered out. Parts of the story were so amazing but as a whole it seemed to switch to a lower gear just as it was getting revved up. And as a William Gay fan this just felt unfinished.

Re: Could only get the sample to play

I looked everywhere on the app to try and get the entire book to play but could only get the five minute or so snippet. So frustrating!
