A haunting locked-door letter penned by a gentle and shady lady - to the husband she will never forget. A found remnant from the long lost world of Thornhorn. Best read in a cool, dark place.A Tale Untold by a Riddle Top MagpieFrom the author of The Kestrel Waters and Wicked Temper."Thornhorn, where the hell have you been?" ~ William Peter Blatty (author of The Exorcist)"One of the South's wildest new voices..." ~ The Oxford American Magazine"Randy Thornhorn is clearly the love child of Sam Shepard and Flannery O'Connor, raised since childhood by Willie Nelson and Karen Black. He isn't just a good writer, he's a GREAT writer. Southern Gothic magic at its best." ~ Kat Manaan_________________..The Unforeseen Writings of Randy Thornhorn: Where ravenous love and murderous intent festers beneath the Southern skin, searching for release and revelation. Randy Thornhorn unleashes the hellhound electric: grotesque fables, relentless howlings, and touching remnants torn from the heart—gunning up and down the bedeviled backroads run by great Southern Gothic scouts like Edgar Allen Poe, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Cormac McCarthy, Truman Capote, Eudora Welty, and even Harper Lee. (And recent Southern Gothic travelers like Barry Hannah, Donna Tartt, Pat Conroy, Toni Morrison, Lee Smith, Poppy Z. Brite, and Greg Iles). Thornhorn braves a spectral, displaced land where bad daddies, careless lovers, and other vampires collide in horror and comic disarray, amidst the ironic human echoes of Mark Twain and Charles Portis. Prepare yourself for demons and gods you never knew existed, where Randy Thornhorn plays the fool and the fool killer, the high lonesome magpie and the boom-chicka-boom. Rest assured. You have never read the like. . . . (owjw)
