Those Across the River
World Fantasy Award nominee 2012.
The debut of a phenomenal new talent.
Failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife, Eudora, have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family’s old estate — the Savoyard Plantation — and the horrors that occurred there. At first, the quaint, rural ways of their new neighbors seem to be everything they wanted. But there is an unspoken dread that the townsfolk have lived with for generations. A presence that demands sacrifice.
It comes from the shadowy woods across the river, where the ruins of Savoyard still stand. Where a longstanding debt of blood has never been forgotten.
A debt that has been waiting patiently for Frank Nichols’s homecoming...

Christopher Buehlman has a unique ability to take the macabre and make it not only thrilling but eerily beautiful. As an author, he has an innate talent for weaving dark, atmospheric tales that grip readers from the first page and refuse to let go. His novels, often a blend of horror, fantasy, and historical fiction, transport readers to worlds where the line between the supernatural and the human condition blurs with unsettling results.
Buehlman’s storytelling journey began in his hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida, where he first began to explore his love for the darker side of fiction. Before he became an author, Buehlman had a varied career, dabbling in everything from acting to writing for TV. But it was his passion for storytelling—specifically for tales that embrace the gothic and the eerie—that led him to focus on his true calling: writing novels that delve into the unknown, the strange, and the terrifying.
