Black Opal Books has acquired Michael Infinito’s two
novels: In Blog We Trust and The Hanging Tree!
Michael Infinito, hailed as the next Stephen King!
Infinito’s historical, paranormal novel The
Hanging Tree is a fast-paced ghost story that chronicles the histories
of two post-Civil War American families and their struggle to break free from
the stigma of slavery. Divided by race, their separate journeys over several
generations are thrilling, suspenseful, triumphant, and sometimes tragic. The
Hanging Tree will have you crying and cheering at the same time, and
may just cause you to sleep with a light or two on at night.
When South Carolina Plantation owner
Samuel Worthington liberates his slaves, he offers them some land in exchange
for their continued service. His best worker, Jeffrey, accepts the deal and
begins building a life for his freed family.
Upon Samuel’s death, everything changes.
His son, Jake, alters the agreement, setting into motion a destructive pendulum
that swings relentlessly for generations to come. Inhabited by ghosts of a dead
rice plantation, the fertile land serves as a battleground in the war between
greedy, ruthless men, and the spirits of its rightful owners. You’s on my land.
Two plantation families, both torn apart
by injustice and bigotry, branch out away from their roots and struggle to make
it into the early twentieth century. Through World War I, Prohibition, and the
modernization of America, the South Carolina land and its ghosts remain common
ground in a prolonged chess match between the two clans. Unfortunately, neither
family can ever fully prosper unless all the stray pieces find their rightful
place and balance is restored, but justice proves elusive in the shadow of
America’s darkest social blemish.
In Blog We Trust keeps you on
the edge of your seat with your jaw dropped and question marks flickering
around in your head with every turn of the page.
Throughout history, people have sold
their souls to the dark side in order to make their selfish wishes come
true. With the dawn of the internet age,
the ritual continued. Rock stars, race
car drivers, and even politicians found their fame and fortune with the help of
a new and mesmerizing website. The only price they paid for the use of its
services, and all the fame and fortune they asked for, was a gruesome death,
which occurred one year to the day after they had made their requests.
When Carrie, a frustrated housewife,
logs onto the blog and enters her under-duress comment of, “If you want to make my life better, then you should just
kill my husband,” a chain of
events begins to unfold that no one could have ever predicted. She is the only
one who has put two-and-two together; trying to contact other bloggers to
explain and to warn them before it is too late for all of them. Falling in love
with one of the victims was not part of the plan. Both were going to die, but there
had to be a way…
