Rough wooden crosses and peeling hand-lettered signs bearing Bible scripture fragments are nailed to fences, trees, and each other in the late W.C. Rice's stark Cross Garden, Prattville, Alabama
Summary
If the late W.C. Rice's stark Cross Garden doesn't save you, there's no one to blame but yourself. His frightening jumble of white crosses cling to hills on either side of a curving county road next to a trailer park. Whitewashed signs explicitly warn in blobby black paint "You will DIE," and "HELL IS HOT HOT HOT."
