Alabama Gothics

Bill Green published his first tale of dark local color in 1990, after winning state awards for local history. Since then, he has stitched weird tales of sex, violence, magic, and myth into a local quilt-family curses and forbidden love to be expected, but a dash of monsters and space aliens as well. In Alabama Gothics 25 of these stories are collected into a single volume.

Of the opening story, Jessica Amanda Salmonson wrote, "Luna deals with dangerous issues and topics, but does so with beauty, weirdness, and balanced understanding of the historical and social milieu. . . . It is one of the best novelettes I've ever received as an editor" (Fantasy Macabre 12).
