The Beguiled

A Louisiana convent thick with cicadas and gunpowder. A Union deserter carried in on a litter, his coat still clotted with Yankee mud. Inside, the girls stitch his wound in silence then sharpen their pencils against his uniform. He trades stories for figs, handiwork for silences, but the price of his survival keeps rising. S1, Siegel’s thriller bleeds Southern Gothic into greasy thriller territory without blinking an inch.
