Limestone: Legacy of a Curse
LIMESTONE: LEGACY OF A CURSE is inspired by true events. In 1810, a powerful curse was bestowed on a plot of land near the banks of the Scioto River, in the recently formed state of Ohio. One hundred thirteen years later, in 1923, a stone and cedar manor house was constructed on the ill-fated land. The deceptively beguiling house, named Limestone by its first owners, lured five generations of occupants, enabling the curse to inflict haunting tragedy upon all who lived within its walls.
LIMESTONE: LEGACY OF A CURSE is the prequel to present-day events in PECHEWA: AN AMERICAN ODYSSEY.

Just as in E.M. Forster's Howards End, the manor house of the title is itself a protagonist, although its influence on the characters is far more sinister, forcing them to confront the darkness at its heart.
Spanning almost a hundred years from the construction of Limestone in the 1920s, the gripping story unfolds to an inevitable and strangely beautiful conclusion. The many occupants of Limestone, brilliantly portrayed by the author, are drawn to the place only to suffer tragedy. Tess Kincaid has woven real events and fiction expertly together and the result is completely compelling and at times terrifying.
What an amazing movie this would make.
