Books like Chapel of ease by Alex Bledsoe


Matt Johansson, a young New York actor, auditions for "Chapel of Ease," an off‑Broadway musical, and meets its writer‑composer, Ray Parrish. Their conversation reveals that the show is rooted in the history of Ray’s isolated Appalachian hometown, the community of the Tufa. As opening night approaches, unsettling events begin: a dreadlocked girl stalks Ray, a Tufa woman warns him during a press preview, and Ray dies in his sleep. Despite the tragedy, the production proceeds, and Matt volunteers to return Ray’s ashes to Needsville. He hopes to uncover the mystery of what is buried in the chapel and to learn the true story behind the play. Matt’s journey into the Cloud County mountains forces him to confront strange rituals and hidden histories, revealing that some secrets are best left buried.
