Resurrection
A cult in East Texas seeks to resurrect a dead queen, drawing Jack and Carrie into their deadly orbit.
The narrative focuses on the intersection of personal grief and supernatural evil. Jack Macon loses livestock to ritual slaughter, prompting his alliance with Carrie Price. Together they confront Darius, who remains intent on bringing his Queen back to life. Slim Tom acts as the physical threat to those who oppose the Family. The plot is driven by the mystery of the woman in the glass coffin and the efforts of Laura to escape. Daniel uses the setting of East Texas to ground the supernatural elements in a tangible reality. The story examines how grief can make individuals vulnerable to cult recruitment. It also explores the brutality of maintaining such a secret community through violence and intimidation.
