    About this audiobook

    It was hell's season, and the air smelled of burning children....

    With “one of the most arresting first sentences in contemporary writing” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), Robert McCammon unfurls his visionary masterpiece of survival, redemption, and the astonishing transformations love can create.

    Gone South chronicles a desperate man’s journey through a desperate land, in “a gothic picaresque that mixes gritty plot and black comedy...a smoothly constructed and satisfying story” (The Wall Street Journal).

    Flooded by memories, poisoned by Agent Orange, Dan Lambert kills a man in a moment of fear and fury—and changes his life forever. Pursued by police and bounty hunters, Dan flees south toward the Louisiana bayous. In the swamplands he meets Arden Halliday, a young woman who bears the vivid burdens of her own past, and who is searching for a legendary faith healer called the Bright Girl. Looking for simple kindness in a world that rarely shows it, bound by a loyalty stronger than love, Dan and Arden set off on a journey of relentless suspense and impassioned discovery...over dark, twisting waterways into the mysterious depths of the human heart.

      Love this! The narrator’s voice was perfect and he performed all of the characters so well. I wish this story hadn’t ended, it was wonderful! A keeper for sure!

      Robert McCammon is the best when it comes to mysticism and story telling. His characters are each in their own way unforgettable. I was first taken by his book "Swan's Song" years back and would recommend it wholeheartedly and this book as well. I have more of his to read and have no doubts in my mind that they will be just as enjoyable.

      Fantastic piece of work. Written in such a way that I felt every turn of the journey.
