Publisher's Synopsis
Borton Sneed. A man minded irregular. Driftingly eccentric. A non-believer holding fast. Borton then intruded upon from another world entire. Sought to be a seeker. To find Heaven's portal. So from the depths of the South he will traverse. Due west. Clues given. Some imagined. Signposts read where none may be. And the evil in pursuit is unrelenting. A horror both fore and aft. Based semi-autobiographically on the life of the author, Until The Rustic is a work as savage and ferocious in context as those penned by O'Connor or McCarthy. A walk in the very shadow of death. A sprint to iniquity's border. The announcement of a knowing beyond. A veritable trip to an unpromised light.
