Tobacco-Stained Prayers By R.B. Rouge Some inherit land. Some inherit wealth. Ramey inherited trauma In the Louisiana swamplands, where secrets fester and redemption feels like a knife fight in the dark, Ramey's family isn't just cursed-it's engineered. Mob ties, military scars, and buried experiments haunt her bloodline, but Ramey's done running. With a ceramic skull whispering warnings and a cracked doll eye calling the shots, she's ready to dig up the truth. The swamp's rot runs deeper than family-it's stitched into the hymns, baked into the courthouse bricks, and coded in the silences of men who never had to apologize. To survive, Ramey must unravel the lies, dismantle the legacy, and decide which chains to break-and which ones to pass on. Both brutal and tender, dark and prophetic, Tobacco-Stained Prayers is the opening chapter of The Hauntborne Files-a Southern Gothic saga where love and ruin walk hand in hand, and every generation must decide what chains to break and what ones to pass on. Step into the swamp, but tread carefully-When trauma is your inheritance better be damn careful how you spend it. -RB Rouge
