His revenge cost him his life.
If you head south from Tallahassee on 98 you might end up right in the Gulf of Mexico if you don’t follow the road west as it turns down the Florida Panhandle. One of the very first places you may encounter is Tate’s Hell State Forest. It’s a vast wilderness of swamp and mosquitoes and only a fool or a possessed man would ever go inside. But why the name?
It’s all about Cebe Tate and his mission to reclaim what was stolen from him… A demon panther who had destroyed his farm, and his life.
This story has no great moral compass. No, this story has no great heroic outcome. This is one of the most natural, and ill-fated stories as I’ll ever write in my whole career.
Cebe Tate ain’t anything like a hero by today’s story-telling standards. He’s a down-trodden farmer who has the world go wrong at every turn.
But full his story has never been told… Until now.
