Christopher Golden, New York Timesbestselling author of Ararat A young woman waits for her father, who has gone to a place from which no one intends to return. A single word is the push that may break a man and save a life. The members of a winemaking community celebrate the old time religion found flowing in the blood of the vine. A desperate man seeking a miracle cure gets more than a peek behind the curtain of Dr. Morningstar's Psychic Surgery. The author of Stranded ';brings together the macabre and the offbeat' (Publishers Weekly) in this remarkable collection of stories that inhabit the dark places where pain and resignation intersect, in which the fear of a quiet moment alone is as terrifying as the unseen thing watching from behind the tree line. ';[A] superb new collection... There are pieces here that nod to distinguished ancestors like Ambrose Bierce's ';An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,' Flannery O'Connor's ';A Good Man Is Hard to Find' and Shirley Jackson's ';The Lottery'.'
