Charles and Florence Bravo had all the makings of a respectable Victorian marriage: money, status, and a stately home. But beneath the polished veneer was jealousy, control, infidelity, and resentment. When Charles died from poison just four months after the wedding, the suspect list included his new bride, her loyal ladies’ maid, and her much older ex-lover.

At the end of a long, dirt road in the wilds of Georgia, two men created a world entirely their own—part sanctuary, part gothic fantasy. There were rumors of devil worship and sinful orgies—but when evil came to Corpsewood in the winter of 1982—it came from the outside world.
