Book excerpt: Dru could barely say a word. It was all too strange. The visit was turning out so differently than she had expected. She wondered what her grandmother was up to, what she had said to Giles when she left the room to help Sal, whether it was all some kind of diabolical plan to destroy her relationship with Giles. "In a take-off of Southern gothic myth, intrigue and romance, J. Christian Enochs has written a work that combines all the strangest elements of the genre: part Tennessee Williams, Harper Lee, and Katherine Anne Porter ? with just a dose of Anne Rice thrown in for good measure ? The Last Beaufort is destined to be a New Orleans and Southern Classic." -Garry Boulard, author Huey Long Invades New Orleans ? The Siege of a City, 1934-36 " Each chapter added layers of intrigue to the rich, sophisticated plot, and I found myself caring deeply about the characters. I became completely captivated with the author's descriptions of a very particular Southern experience. The novel made me feel as if I'd been given privileged glimpses into a secret society. Readers are going to have a great time." -Tom Uskali, Louisiana Cultural Vistas
