Soul resin

"Soul Resin is a southern gothic horror novel with a postmodern bent. Set in New Orleans, it plumbs the dark mysteries that lurk among the layers of that city's past. Mills Loomis Mills, an edgy college dropout at the center of the story, finds his life intertwined with a remarkable assemblage of characters - both living and dead - after his girlfriend is murdered and he begins to hear what he believes is the arcane language of spilled blood. In the space of three days - with 150 years of history whispering in his ears - Mills unleashes a supernatural disaster that threatens to forever alter the cosmic relations between living and dead."--BOOK JACKET.
