New York: Hippocampus Press, 2010. Trade paperback, Fine,. Thomas S. Brown. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2010. Trade paperback, Fine, 300 pp.<br/> Cover artwork by: Thomas S. Brown This work has never appeared before and the colophon page calls it a "First edition" yet we refrain from using that term since it is a print-on-demand title. "What was it about those tumbleweeds that didn't seem quite normal? How could something be walking around the walls in the next motel room, especially with that many feet? What could be sinister about a child's game of hopscotch? What did those old town legends mean, about what might have been buried in a certain cellar? That face in the window had always been far, far too large, and could it still be there after all these years? When had it really started, the folktale about the turtle and the thunder? What is it like to wake up in one's coffin, after putrefaction has set in? Can a windmill really be haunted, and can it rip itself up from its moorings and stalk abroad at night? These and many other matters await the reader of this extraordinary collection, matters dark and beckoning, matters writhing alive with horrors that will disturb your sleep for a long time to come."
