Chapelwood by Cherie Priest
From Cherie Priest, the award-winning author of Maplecroft, comes a new tale of Lizzie Borden's continuing war against the cosmic horrors threatening humanity...Birmingham, Alabama is infested with malevolence. Prejudice and hatred have consumed the minds and hearts of its populace. A murderer, unimaginatively named "Harry the Hacker" by the press, has been carving up citizens with a hatchet. And from the church known as Chapelwood, an unholy gospel is being spread by a sect that worships dark gods from beyond the heavens.
This darkness calls to Lizzie Borden. It is reminiscent of an evil she had dared hoped was extinguished. The parishioners of Chapelwood plan to sacrifice a young woman to summon beings never meant to share reality with humanity. An apocalypse will follow in their wake which will scorch the earth of all life.
Unless she stops it...
In Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Cherie Priest had a strong start. She's also the author of Nor Flesh Nor Feathers, the sequel to Wings to the Kingdom, Fathom, Dreadnought, and Boneshaker, a near-contemporary fantasy that was nominated for a Nebula and Hugo Award, won the Locus Award for best science-fiction novel, and was chosen Steampunk Novel of the Year by steampunk.com. Priest, who was born in Tampa, Florida, received her master's degree in rhetoric from the University of Tennessee. She and her husband, Aric, live in Seattle, Washington, with their huge black cat, Spain.
