Description:

From the Master of Southern-Fried Horror comes a collection of stories that could only beat in the dark, diseased heart of Dixie…- An abandoned furnace, choked with shadow and haunted by tormented ghosts, stands as a grim testament to a time when cruelty and the abuse of human flesh was woefully commonplace…- A man’s obsession with mysterious roadkill on a lonesome country avenue awakens a horrifying hunger that can not be satisfied…- Two boys let curiosity get the better of them and discover that a collector of monster movie memorabilia is something more than a retired master of greasepaint and latex…- A dimwitted projectionist at a small-town drive-in theatre upsets a Saturday night crowd when he unwilling releases a dark secret from a dusty and forgotten film can…- A grandfather’s Christmas Eve story of a unfinished journey by a drunken peddler captivates a young boy and brings about the delivery of a yuletide gift once thought to be forever lost…- It started out as nothing more than a shortcut home… a detour through a shadowy stretch of forest known as Tanglewood. But what awaited an unsuspecting driver, amid the brush and bramble, made a simple flat tire seem like a horrifying journey into madness… 22 terrifying tales of Southern darkness and depravity from Ronald Kelly, the acclaimed author of Fear, Blood Kin, Hell Hollow, and Midnight Grinding & Other Twilight Terrors.
