OLDER FICTION
Nickerson, Jane

The Mirk and Midnight Hour

(3) YA Dangers lurk as Violet discovers violent ambitions among her relatives and falls in love with a wounded Yankee soldier mysteriously cared for by a local doctor with peculiar religious beliefs. Richly peopled with distinctive characters and enlivened by a Civil War setting, this novel draws from both the traditions of the Southern gothic and the Scottish legend of Tam Lin.
