According to legend, the sineater is a dark and mysterious figure of the night, condemned to live alone in the woods. He may come out only when a death in the community occurs. As the mourners turn their backs in fear, the sineater devours food from the chests of the dead, thereby absorbing the sins of the departed and freeing the soul to enter heaven. Yet in a small mountain town, the order has been broken. The sineater has a family of his own, even though they must avert their gaze on the rare occasions he visits them. With the violated taboo comes a rash of horrifying events. But does the evil emanate from the sineater, his family, or from an even darker force?

"Whoa. This book gave me a whole new appreciation for southern gothic and introduced me to Elizabeth Massie. Her work is nearly impossible to put down. Also, this book was a Bram Stoker award winner." — Bandit (5 out of 5 stars)

" Interesting book but not horror. "
" pretty sophomoric and i wonderd why it would have won a bram stroker. i quit reading it 300 pgs in. the descriptive narration was annoying as it was tangenteal and not speaking to the plot in anyway so why should i care? it was awfully predictable too. so glad its over. "
" Elizabeth Massie is the best horror writer in the business. She paints a common picture that wells up from the inside and tears it's way out. READ ALL OF HER BOOKS! "
" I have nothing good to say about this book. Just "eh". "
" I loved this book. The way it was written, the twist on Sin eater concept, character POV. Really good read. "
" One of the best contemporary horror novels I've read. Blows away lame efforts from Bently Little, Tim Lebbon and the like. Maybe I'm too harsh on those guys...? Naaaah! "
