Sophia Huneycutt
Dartrine Beaumont believes her mother’s sudden death has left her alone in the world—until she learns of long-lost wealthy relatives living in Florida. Confused but delighted by the possibility of extended family, Dart travels to her grandmother’s stately Gilded Age mansion on Amelia Island for answers, just in time to stake a claim on an unusual inheritance: an alligator farming empire.
Her arrival at Greer House isn’t everything she hoped. Without warning, Dart finds herself in fierce competition with her grandmother’s arrogant heir apparent, and tensions rise as threats escalate on one of the farms. More unsettling is her hostile grandmother’s fanatical belief that the danger stems from a curse; according to legend, a larger-than-life alligator hunted down by a bloodthirsty ancestor haunts the family. Yet Dart can’t deny that the farm’s alligators hiss only at Greers, or that a shadowy figure creeps through the mansion’s halls.
As Dart uncovers the truth about her violent birthright, she faces a terrible choice: accept her place in her family’s grim legacy or forge a new path by slaying a different beast entirely.

批評家のレビュー
"Sophia Huneycutt is a gifted writer whose talent shines throughout The House Built on Alligator Bones. Her evocative descriptions and finely crafted prose draw readers into the swampy, shadowy world that is backcountry Florida. This is a novel written with intelligence, heart, and a rare command of language."
—Randy Wayne White, New York Times bestselling author of Tomlinson's Wake
"A beautiful, singular story from a writer to watch, The House Built on Alligator Bones is a modern Heart of Darkness, set in a brutal, gory version of Florida. In conversation with years of Southern Gothic fiction while carving its own haunted path, Huneycutt paints a matriarchy at war with nature and itself, led by a character who has more than a little in common with Conrad’s Kurtz. More than brooding, or grisly, or spellbinding—though it’s all three—this is a vivid, visceral story about the lives and legacies of predators, both those dwelling in swamps and in Gilded Age mansions."
—Ashley Winstead, national bestselling author of This Book Will Bury Me
"As quirky, shady, and diabolically entertaining as the state in which it's set, The House Built on Alligator Bones puts Florida Gothic—and debut author Sophia Huneycutt—firmly on the horror map."
—Jennifer Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of Diavola
“Family secrets hang heavy as Florida heat in this Southern Gothic ghost story, where lies burn like salt water—and what lurks at the bottom of the swamp won’t lie dormant forever. Hauntingly captivating, the warped halls of this mystery brim with cinematic prose, the dark heart of family legacy, and, of course, the whispers of the dead.”
—Ande Pliego, USA Today bestselling author of The Library After Dark
"Full of mysterious occurrences, mythic family lore, buried histories, and the inescapable burdens of the past, Sophia Huneycutt’s compulsively readable The House Built on Alligator Bones has the hallmarks of the best of Southern Gothic. Underneath its intrigue and suspense lies a story about the longing for familial connection and one’s desire to find their place in the world."
—LaTanya McQueen, author of When the Reckoning Comes
"The House Built on Alligator Bones is a mystery haunted by the past. Dark and oozing as the Florida swamp, it’s a story about the weight of family legacy and what it takes to imagine a new future. If you like your heroines dark, your mansions dilapidated, and your ghosts to have teeth, then this is the page-turner for you."
