Set in an era marked with hardship on a struggling farmer's land, the disappearance of an essential implement and the arrival of an ominous wanderer become the catalyst for an adolescent boy's dark journey into self-discovery.
Spiritual and visceral, metaphysical and carnal, Z. L. Melton's Vermilion is a hauntingly beautiful, brutally honest tale of the American Midwest, told in the spirit of O'Connor and Faulkner. Unflinching, thoughtful and lyrical, Vermilion strides the line between the terrors and splendors of the worlds both seen and unseen.
