Publisher's blurb: Years or reclusiveness, inbreeding and living in the wild hinterlands of Howling Crater have made the backwater Wotts Clan a despicable folk with deep-rooted prejudices, strange beliefs and outright detestable customs. Though they speak the common tongue, they are an entirely uneducated people in the modern sense, with heavy accents and a brutish, hillbilly cadence.
