In the Mississippi Delta of 1887, surveyor Silas Vale trusts one thing above all else: a measurement properly taken.
Then a routine boundary dispute leads him to six worthless acres that refuse to measure correctly.
His chain is true. His stakes have not moved. Yet the distance changes.
With Isaiah Cole beside him, Silas begins documenting what should be impossible. The deeper they measure, the stranger the evidence becomes: a dead patch of earth, records that seem to remember events before they happen, a house where no house should stand, and a boundary that behaves less like a line on the land than something deliberately drawn around it.
But Hollow Acre does not reveal itself all at once. It waits. It repeats. And it remembers.
Set against the landscape and history of the late-nineteenth-century Mississippi Delta, The Surveyor's Chain is the opening novel of The Hollow Acre Chronicles, a literary Southern Gothic saga of memory, family, history, and a place where the past may not be finished with the living.
Some boundaries keep things out.
Some boundaries keep things in.
