Y'all gather round for thirteen more tales of Southern Gothic
horror: Boys find evil in their favorite sweet treat, a perfume
shop that makes more than scents, a hurricane carries a mother's
vengeance, a conjure woman lies dying, unable to name a
successor...This is Gothic horror Southern style-shadowy rice
fields, creatures that assume humanity at will-where even the most
damaged and delicate have their power. Spook Lights II takes us
again South with stories that are graceful in the telling, and
beautifully edgy in their details. Humans and haints traverse
historic land in search of magic and revenge, finding salvation and
justice in unexpected ways; each tale unwinds magnificently in
Royce's hands. -Linda D. Addison, award-winning author of "How to
Recognize a Demon Has Become Your Friend"
Twenty-two short horror stories written by women are here on
display for your enjoyment or your perverse fascination. Within
these pages, beauty becomes deadly, innocence kills, and karma is a
harsh mistress. The Grotesquerie is now open...
Pull up a rocking chair and sit a spell. Soak in these tales of
Southern Gothic horror: A witchdoctor's niece tells him a
life-altering secret, an investigator who keeps a 100% confession
rate...These are stories where the setting itself becomes a
character-fog laced cemeteries, sulfur rich marshes-housing
creatures that defy understanding and where the grotesque and
macabre are celebrated. The true horror is in what you can't
see...until it's sitting right next to you. Eden Royce delivers a
sultry and spicy dose of Southern Gothic. 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
