Rendition Toward Books Softspoken

A chilling and mysterious voice becomes audible to Sanie shortly after she and her husband Jackson move into the decaying antebellum mansion that is the Bullard ancestral home in rural South Carolina. At first, she wonders if the voice might be a prank played by Jackson's peyote-popping brother Will or his equally off-kilter sister Louise. But soon Sanie discovers that the ghostly voice is merely a single piece in the decadent, baroque puzzle that comprises the Bullard family history rank with sensuality, violence, repression and madness.

Criticize Out Of Books Softspoken

Everyone who doesn't know how it ended.She died, that terrible pain she was barely aware of below her breast was likely a stab wound. She died in the ditch, her soul was sucked back into the vortex of the house, and now she haunts it with all the other ghosts she'd seen on the peyote. Her haunting path is to walk downstairs and stare at the calender, same as she did while she was living. While a man, likely Jackson who was likely murdered by Dean, chases after her. She was a trapped ghost in

There are different types of ghosts at work in this story, meaning that there are ghosts you can see and hear, and then there are the ghosts you can't lay to rest that lay within you personally. This book, on that level, reminded me somewhat of Stephen King's book The Shining, where isolation leads to a spiral into the dark side.On the surface, Shepard's book is a ghost story, but it's mingled with a bit of drama on the domestic front. Jackson and Sanie Bullard are living in a small town in

Sanie Bullard has accompanied her husband Jackson back to his rural home town in South Carolina. Jackson wants to study for the bar, and Sanie is left on her own so much that she's forced to confront just how lacking her marriage is. Jackson's ancestral home, occupied by his crazy brother and sister, seems to be haunted by some kind of quiet, whispering spirit. Sanie keeps herself occupied by hanging around down at the country store half a mile down the road, and finds herself drawn by the

I found this book to be unpleasant to read - but only for me. I dislike books where the protagonist is trapped, unable to simply leave a bad or deteriorating situation. And in "Softspoken", that's exactly the case. The main character is stuck in a haunted family home, with her husband, his crazy druggie brother, and their possibly autistic sister. And, unlike most of those ancestral Southern homes, this one is hopeless, without charm, and too decayed to love. As Sanie wanders the house, taking

For the most part, I really enjoyed this book. Some lines are laugh-out-loud funny, but sometimes Shepard goes on a tangent (Sanies an aspiring author, and Shepard unnecessarily inserted some of her writing into the story). I would definitely recommend reading this novel, but only if you dont mind having unanswered questions when you finish.

okay.. i liked this book until i finished it. what exactly happens at the end? throughout the entire book you're left expecting a solution to the dilemma she finds herself trapped in, and then of course, by the end you tell yourself, the solution is coming. and then it just sort of tapers off.. i assume she dies? it's very vague on everything near the end, all we know is that this supposed "vortex" has screwed up the minds of everything she knows, and she has to escape it. so where is that

This book seemed all over the place to me and the story jumped around. I guess I was expecting a true haunted house/ghost story..imo, it was anything but! The only really good thing is that it was a relatively short book that I was able to wrap up very quickly!
