Blackwood – Audiobook Online
Blackwood is a literary fiction book by author Michael Farris Smith by author Michael Farris Smith.
In Blackwood, Michael Farris Smith takes us down a creepy kudzu-laden trail where a vicious predator prowls, and sometimes the truth seems better than unseen.
The best times in Red Bluff, Mississippi, are long gone. Vacant and dilapidated, the town’s offer of free housing did not attract anyone but Colburn, a sculptor and driver who had long lived in Red Bluff.
As a child, Colburn experienced the horror of witnessing the death of his father. But as the story unfolds, the events leading up to his father’s death deliver a series of gut-wrenching punches that are nearly impossible to dismiss.
Smith weaves the fateful story with sensitivity but makes us nervous. As we read Colburn’s painful musings, echoed by a rotting house filled with kudzu, we learn of his despair. His loneliness. His unshakable fear reminds him that he is alive.
The telepathic ropes connected the characters like twisted vines. Colburn and the boy must pay retribution for their miserable fathers. Savage killers and animals take innocent lives. Everyone in Red Bluff hurts.
A story as desperate as Blackwood needed masterful prose, and fortunately Smith delivered. Measured and poetic, he emerges as a master of Southern gothic, a sublime storyteller that evokes tears and compassion. Blackwood will haunt me for a long time.
