The mythical figure of Plateye has floated through the folklore of the deep south of the United States as a kind of demon who searches out human weakness and terrifies his victims. This novel, a metaphor for the effects of slavery on both white and black people in Georgia from 1797 to 1830, involves the Allen family and its slave woman Dilby, and explores the conflict between the forces of love and social rejection: fear and hatred in conflict with friendship and desire.
