Days of Purgatory

Fiction

“In this exquisitely disturbing look at humanity, Abell takes us on the journey of a man haunted by inner demons and a frightening past. In his wonderfully descriptive prose, Abell tells a story where racism, mental illness, and spirituality merge in unexpected places in the years surrounding the Civil War . . . A tale of love, war, madness, and triumph, Days of Purgatory is one of those rare books you are saddened to finish.”
