Caleb's Curse, a first novel by Sally Glass, will remind readers of recent swashbuckling movies with Russell Crowe or Johnny Depp. Set in the coastal Carolinas, the story covers nearly two-hundred years of history, from the time the area was the personal playground of pirates through the Civil War to modern day Conway, South Carolina. The protagonists, and there are several, are all ancestors or descendents of the family of John Ian Waters. Through John's Scottish ancestry, which dates to a druid priest, certain members of the Waters family have been "blessed" with awesome (and sometimes awful) powers of the supernatural kind. As for the antagonist of this yarn, there can be no doubt: he is the despicable, sociopathic, nearly heartless Caleb Bland. His undying love for the beautiful Annabelle with the emerald-green eyes drives the story, often at a feverish pitch. As Caleb's corpse rots under the oak tree on the island where British soldiers have hanged him,! he places a curse on the treasure he had given to Annabelle before her brutal murder. There is betrayal, murder, romance, sex, courage, and humor. No pirate yarn since Treasure Island has had a more exciting climax as the hero dukes it out with the spirit of the vile Caleb.
