The Devil Takes the Bodies

In early 20th-century Mississippi, a sinister presence dubbed the Devil preys on the bodies of deceased women and girls, sparking suspicion among local communities, particularly against the "half-breed" Indians in Itawamba County. As the narrative unfolds, the Devil's ominous activities lead to the abduction of eleven dead victims and three live children, including two curious boys who have unwittingly crossed paths with him multiple times. Rooted in the language of its era, this chilling tale explores the depths of evil that lurked in that part of the South.
