From the author of The Pope Lick Massacre, The Rest Stop series, & The Shadow Within comes his next tale of terror.
Seventeen years ago, Zeke made a deal with Mama Faye.
A deal that provided his barren sister with the baby she always wanted.
In exchange, on the girl’s seventeenth birthday, she will be wed to Mama Faye’s beloved son.
Now desperate to save her daughter from a fate worse than death, Zelma strikes a new bargain ...
And all it will cost is her humanity.
"The Bargain is a tense, folkloric horror story that blends Appalachian gothic vibes with modern dread. Relentlessly tense from the very start, Butler introduces an escalating horror that climaxes into a savage confrontation that is as emotionally devastating as it is terrifying. One of Butler's best so far." - Megan Stockton, author of Pink Neon.
