Spook Lights: Southern Gothic Horror
by Eden RoycePublish: May 15, 2015Book Overview
Pull up a rocking chair and sit a spell. Soak in these tales of Southern Gothic horror:Sinister shopkeepers whose goods hold the highest price, a woman’s search for her mother drags her into the binding embrace of a monster, a witchdoctor’s young niece tells him a life-altering secret, an investigator who knows how to keep a 100% confession rate….
These are stories where the setting itself becomes a character—fog laced cemeteries, sulfur rich salt marshes—places housing creatures that defy understanding and where the grotesque and macabre are celebrated.
The stories are rich in flavor and clever in metaphor, the horrors completely surreal or—far more unnerving—all too possible. She brings a refreshing perspective to the table that paranormal lovers are sure to enjoy.
—B.D. Bruns, author of The Gothic Shift
You can feel the warm thick air, the rich history and legends, the desperation of the impoverished, and the deep horror of the betrayed.
—Roma Gray, author of Gray Shadows Under a Harvest Moon
