We are thrilled to share that Long Ago Last Summer, a captivating Southern Gothic memoir by our empowering author Wesley Moore III, was featured in Folly Current. The article celebrates the unique voice and rich storytelling of our author that blends grace, grit, and rhythm of the South. Check the complete feature here. 

Long Ago Last Summer serves readers a Southern Gothic gumbo—part Flannery O’Connor, part Tennessee Williams, with a dash of Delta blues. Through the unforgettable characters, village eccentrics, odd aunts, loyal dogs, and even notorious serial killer Donald “Pee Wee” Gaskins, the author paints the paradoxes of Southern life. Moore’s vivid memoir unravels against a backdrop of antebellum plantations, shotgun shacks, suburban subdivisions, Pentecostal churches, and juke joints. Read Moore’s fascinating novel here.
