While not as relentlessly creepy as some of McMahon's other novels, Burntown contains its fair share of horror. The story spans a few decades and the reader is given insight into several characters' perspectives. The main thread, though, follows the mysterious murder of a beautiful woman which leads to the supposed suicide of an important professor which leads to the horrific stabbing of the governor's son.
