Description
An eerie and romantic Southern gothic drama
Gripping, fast-paced, gorgeously written, and with unforgettable characters, Cauchemar tells the story of 20-year-old Hannah, who finds herself living alone on the edge of a Louisianan swamp after her adopted mother and protector dies. Hannah falls in love with Callum, an easy-going boat captain and part-time musician, but after her mysterious birth mother, outcast as a witch and rumoured to commune with the dead, comes back into Hannah’s life, she must confront what she’s been hiding from — the deadly spirits that haunt the swamp, the dark secrets of her past, and the nascent gift she possesses.
Like the nightmares that plague Hannah, Cauchemar lingers and haunts.

Hannah is a twenty year old woman living by herself at the edge of a southern swamp. Left to her own devices after the death of her adoptive mother, she takes up with boat captain/musician, Callum and things begin to look up. But then Hannah’s birth mother reappears. The same woman the locals chased away; they called her a witch, and said she communicated with the dead. Now that she’s back, Hannah will have to face not only the forces and powers in the swamp, but in herself.
A delightful Southern Gothic that had me hankering for Spanish moss and sweet tea
