A haunting tale of racial injustice and small-town secrets in the heart of North Carolina.
In the fictional community of Cord, the lynching of Lincoln Lennox is covered up, leaving the town's ghosts to unearth the truth. Kathy Acker, reimagined as a transgressive literary icon, engages Lincoln in a love triangle, bringing a post-punk aesthetic to the mission. As the all-in-one bar and consignment shop becomes a battleground for memory and hate, the ghosts act as the town's conscience, challenging its desire to forget.
One Kind Favor echoes Appalachian ghost stories, exploring themes of racial violence, social injustice, and the enduring power of the past. Will the haunting presences finally have their way, or will Cord remain trapped in its cycle of denial and hate? Perfect for readers seeking satirical fiction, Southern gothic, and social commentary.
