The Chronicles of Church Hill (in progress)
by Nicholas de Lioncourt.

A Multi-Volume Series of Novels. Publish Dates not yet Determined.

Antebellum houses line this street by Chimborazo Park in the Church Hill district. An historic street in plain sight yet unseen by all, with houses absent in every city map.

In one house, an absorbing and poignant exploration of death, love, judgement, and forgetfulness among a man and woman; neither recognizing nor remembering the other. Each day they awaken confined together in this house; if only they could leave...

Within another lives a store manager, who finds himself isolated and terrorized by startling incursions of futurity into the present. Each further ahead than the last. Soon shaded, shady outsiders begin to linger in the parking lot...

Up to the third house, where a man, once confident and ambitious, sits on the porch; his tears concealed by the rain falling upon his face. He reviews each year yet remains unable to understand how he lost all purpose in his life. After all, this 26-year old man has just married the woman of his dreams, the 25-year-old Peri, who has just turned 89...

The fourth home is celebrating Christmas; so heart-warming, when children await the arrival of Santa, dream of sugarplums, and fear the punishment of Krampus - but these are traditions soon outgrown. Introducing an unforgettable obscenity far older than the winter solstice. A malevolence that the Annals of Dread dare not record. A name so familiar to all, but it is to Christmas... what Satan is to Hell...

The tour is not over... our guide has twelve more houses to show.

One will be just right for you.

Come in... the door is open.

Welcome to the neighborhood...
