The Eden Moore Series
Eden Moore speaks to ghosts, including her three long dead sisters and has other psychic talents. Each of the stories in this loosely defined trilogy were written to stand alone. Although often called a trilogy, it’s probably better defined as a series as Cherie Priest has not ruled out the possibility of future Eden Moore stories.

From the Editors of Barnes and Noble: Four and Twenty Blackbirds — a contemporary ghost story with elements of southern gothic, supernatural mystery, and dark fantasy — follows an orphaned girl’s harrowing journey into adulthood and her desperate quest to find out who she really is. Growing up with her aunt and uncle in the mountains of Tennessee, Eden Moore is never truly alone. The “mixed race” girl is infrequently visited by a trio of ghosts, three long-dead sisters who counsel and protect her. But no one can guard Eden from a lunatic who believes she is the next coming of her great-grandfather, an infamous African sorcerer whose followers have somehow found a way to resurrect his spirit. When the life of Eden’s beloved aunt is endangered, she embarks on a journey to uncover the roots of her decidedly inbred family tree. From the ruins of a Tennessee sanitarium where her mother died to the halls of a decrepit Georgia mansion to the gator-infested swamps of southern Florida, Eden’s investigation leads her to the terrible truth . . . Priest’s Four and Twenty Blackbirds is one of those exceedingly rare literary gems that will not only engage and challenge readers on a cerebral level but will also masterfully manipulate their emotions. Lyrical, poignant, and brilliantly understated, Priest’s debut novel is a genre-transcendent storytelling tour de force. Fans of writers like Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Peter Straub will absolutely fall in love with this spellbinding novel — and with Cherie Priest, who is undeniably one of the most exciting new authors to come along in years. |

From the Editors of Barnes and Noble: Chickamauga, Georgia, is the site of the oldest military park in the country — a place where a reported 35,000 soldiers met a bloody end during the Civil War. The park has long been rumored to be haunted by a ghostly entity nicknamed Old Green Eyes, a hulking spirit with a glowing gaze that guards the souls of the dead from harm. But when visitors to the much-historied battlefield (scene of the last major Confederate victory), begin seeing ghostly apparitions in tattered uniforms desperately pointing off into the distance, the supernatural uproar attracts a team of well-known ghost hunters, Dana and Tripp Marshall, who vow to get to the bottom of the otherworldly mystery. Eden Moore, a “biracial Southern girl” who can see the spirits of the dead, is also drawn into the unearthly drama when she encounters the horrifying green-eyed wraith while lost in the woods near a mental institution for the criminally insane. Why isn’t Old Green Eyes watching over the souls of the dead at Chickamauga? And what are the old ghosts of the battlefield so frantically pointing to? Darkly poetic and hypnotically readable, Cherie Priest is to dark fantasy what fresh roasted coffee is to mornings — simply essential. |

From the Publisher: But deep beneath the riverbank, the evidence of a terrible crime has been covered up twice. When a TVA dam falters and the river swells, panic rises downtown. As the Tennessee creeps over its banks, it dredges up death from its own polluted bed. Twenty-nine victims of a long-ago slaughter walk when the water rises, patrolling the banks and dragging the living down to a muddy grave. No one remembers how they died and no one knows what they want. Some secrets are never washed away. Instead they are patient, biding their time. They wait for the water to lift them so they can prowl for the justice that was denied them ninety years ago. But in ninety years a city’s shape changes, and where justice can no longer be found, vengeance may have to suffice. The city of Chattanooga is about to learn a terrible truth about the things a river can and cannot hide. . . . And reluctant medium Eden Moore may be the only one who can dissuade the twenty-nine bodies from adding hundreds of its citizens to their ghastly ranks. Not Flesh Nor Feathers is a stand-alone sequel to Four and Twenty Blackbirds and Wings to the Kingdom. |
