The Rimers of Eldritch at Lower Columbia College

Authors

• Lanford Wilson

Enter into the heart of mid-20th century mid-West America - into the decaying Bible Belt town of Eldritch, Missouri - an extremely small former mining town, now almost ghostly, whose remaining 70 citizens are trapped by mysteries which are shattering their shuttered lives. Nelly Windrod is on trial for murder, accused of shooting the local vagrant as he allegedly attacked a teenage girl. As the neighbors and families grapple with this sudden upheaval to their existence and struggle to understand how this could happen, long-buried secrets are revealed and the truth is painfully peeled away layer by layer.
