Potter's Field

by Joshua Penrod

These are not bedtime stories, though they may have places in our darkest dreams. These are not fairy tales, though they may have myths. These are stories of the surreal. With grit and intensity, we peek into the destinies of the doomed and the damaged. From the murdered café owner who shows a different destiny, to the strange film salesman clinging to his vanishing lifestyle, we visit dimensions of horror, passion, and violence. And we see that sometimes, just maybe, some of us can find redemption amid the storms.

Harrowing, first-person horror stories. Tales shot through with primitive (in the literal sense of raw, stripped-down) emotions, elevated by the author's sophistication and scholarship--a paradox of terror.
