100 Years of Blood
Ty Johnston
- The
- House
- of
- AbingdonIts
- story
- begins
- in
- the
- early
- years
- of
- the
- 20th
- Century
- when
- the
- servant
- of
- an
- English
- Lord
- arrives
- at
- an
- isolated
- county
- among
- the
- foothills
- of
- Appalachia.The
- land
- surveyed,
- work
- soon
- begins
- on
- a
- house
- spacious
- and
- fine
- enough
- for
- retired
- nobility,
- for
- retirement
- seems
- the
- goal
- of
- Lord
- Richard
- Abingdon.
- Retirement
- from
- the
- trappings
- of
- nobility,
- retirement
- from
- the
- world,
- from
- life.With
- building
- of
- the
- house
- complete,
- a
- new
- community
- springs
- up
- not
- far
- away,
- a
- small
- town
- bearing
- the
- lord
- of
- the
- house's
- name,
- and
- Richard
- finds
- he
- can
- isolate
- himself
- physically
- but
- the
- world
- will
- continue
- to
- intrude
- itself
- upon
- him
- and
- his
- self-built
- domain.What
- follows
- is
- a
- century
- of
- the
- rise
- and
- fall
- of
- the
- House
- of
- Abingdon,
- from
- its
- promising
- beginning
- to
- its
- dark
- and
- dreary
- end
- and
- all
- events
- between.During
- that
- time,
- a
- host
- of
- individuals
- come
- and
- go
- within
- the
- house,
- from
- servants
- to
- those
- of
- high
- society
- and
- the
- strange,
- seemingly
- never-aging
- residents.In
- the
- end,
- the
- house
- offers
- more
- questions
- than
- answers,
- more
- mysteries
- than
- solutions,
- for
- the
- obvious
- and
- the
- seeming
- obvious
- are
- never
- truth
- in
- The
- House
- of Abingdon.
