Mask of Connor: An Appalachian Enigma

by Jim Callahan

Mask of Connor is an informative and exciting fictional tale of the 1930s in remote Appalachia. The pragmatism of the thrilling scenario has been well researched and documented. The long misunderstood main character, Connor, leads the reader and his family on an enchanting yet bewildering trail of contradictions. Today’s research might even diagnose him as psychopathic. Connor is never boring as he manipulates his kin in a fairly lawless society with his cunning, unpredictability, and lack of empathy. He provides love, confusion, and hatred from his long anticipated and laborious birth to illicit moon shining, daring robberies, multiple incarcerations, and exciting chases until an unexpected and final demise.
