The Devil's Footprints by Amanda Stevens
A farmer in Adamant, Arkansas, awakes to a noise on his roof and finds his snow-blanketed yard marked with thousands of cloven footprints. The prints vanish with the melting snow...only to reappear seventy years later near the gruesome killing of Rachel DeLaune."The sinister world of Amanda Stevens will feed the dark side of your soul...and leave you hungry for more." -- New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd
Amanda Stevens considers storytelling a part of her heritage. "Someone once said the South is home to people who love to talk. This is especially true of the rural South where I grew up." Her high school literature classes provided an early influence where she was drawn to the darker stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allen Poe, but it was the southern gothic that truly inspired her. The strong sense of place--dusty back roads and moonlit bayous, simmering secrets and fragrant, sweltering heat--provided a powerful backdrop to the despair and desperation of the wayward souls that peopled classic southern literature. Amanda uses those same elements in her thrillers, which can best be described as "creepy, southern suspense." Subscription
