Description
Curse of The Whiskey House is the first book of the Whiskey House Trilogy. It is a page turner of the ages that reads quickly and easily. Curse of The Whiskey House is not for the faint of heart, spiritually weak, or closed minded. This book is gripping, chilling, controversial, action-packed, heated, scary, graphic, and bold. Curse of The Whiskey House is a fiction thriller tale (with a hint of paranormality) that incorporates VERY REAL societal issues. The elephant in the room is exposed ten times over in this book. If you are churched/unchurched, a believer/non-believer, married/single, or traditional/nontraditional, and a MATURE READER, this book will have “something” that will catch your attention.

Curse of The Whiskey House is guaranteed to challenge you to open your eyes, and take a good look at yourself, and your surroundings. Once you finish reading it, you will NOT be the same person you once were (whether that is good or bad).

“Do you dare challenge yourself and brave the wrath between the pages of Curse of the Whiskey House? Hmmm. Consider yourself warned.” – Marc Lacy, Author

Synopsis
Jesus once saved Lazarus, but some wonder if the City of Lazarus is beyond saving. This historic Bible Belt homestead located in Hawthorne County, Alabama has a population of 45,000 and is nationally renowned for its fine whiskey. Lazarus, a lively city that was once a resting spot for the Buffalo Soldiers, has a lot of heritage, history, and religion. Maybe too much of each.

The Hawthorne County Whiskey Stop, the city’s most profitable tourist attraction, gets thousands of customers per year from in and out of town. But the Hawthorne County Whiskey House, its counterpart, is anything but good and sacred. Just ask the beloved Mayor of Lazarus, Samuel Justice, who has enough skeletons in the closet to fill the local cemetery. The level of treachery and mayhem spawned within the whiskey house is uncharted despite the fact that Reverend Jackson Jones, the pastor of the Central Baptist Church, owns it.

Many believe that a lot of spirits are uneasy and that a curse lingers around Lazarus and Hawthorne County because of the crass circumstances that surround the whiskey house. There’s an old saying around Lazarus, Once you enter the whiskey house, if you should ever come out, your life goes south. There is also an eerie prophecy tied to the whiskey house that no one wants to acknowledge; they keep quiet about it hoping it will just disappear. Detective Brock Taylor is the only hope in saving Lazarus from total destruction. But will he be able to extinguish the curse and bring happiness back to the lives that have been maimed by the misgivings at the whiskey house? Or will he be another victim of the devastating curse? This time, even Jesus may not want anything to do with Lazarus…
