The Spirit Room is a different kind of Southern Gothic.Kurtz delivers stories from the world left by crumbling plantations, Jim Crow, and generational poverty. Gone are the ancient mansions and good ol' boys, replaced with southern streets and battles for justice.The stories take place in cities you'll recognize: Knoxville, Charlotte, Baltimore, etc... But Kurtz takes us behind the curtain to reveal the indomitable spirit of those living on the wrong side of town, to show us the battle we're aware of, but never quite see.The Spirit Room isn't a ghost story collection. It's a celebration of the Southern heart, the pride and persistence that keeps fighting no matter what pain it endures. Here amongst the horror and the history, you'll find tales of the spirit's defiance and determination. This is Southern Gothic at its purest and finest.The Spirit Room is a collection you don't want to miss.

October Shadows: Classic Ghost Stories for Halloween (Deluxe Illustrated Horror Anthology)
<p>In <em>October Shadows</em>, artist John A. Rice brings to life classic ghost stories, using autumn leaves as his canvas. Each of the thirteen tales--by authors including Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, and Edith Nesbit--explores the unexplained and the macabre, tapping into our worst fears and the darker side of human nature while exploring the supernatural mysteries that connect all our lives. This is the perfect book for curling up in front of a fire on a chilly night, when the moon is high, the wind whispers in the trees, and ominous shadows lurk around every corner.<br /></p><p>Every story in <em>October Shadows</em> is illustrated with an original artwork executed on an autumn leaf. Each artwork is shown twice: once at the beginning of the story, and once at the end, transformed--like the face of a jack-o'-lantern--by backlighting, the light bleeding through the leaf and transforming the colors to an eerie and haunting effect.<br /></p><p>Like a relic from another era, <em>October Shadows</em> features a deluxe binding in real cloth, with foil stamping and a tip-on. By breathing new life into timeless stories and reimagining them with Rice's unique approach, this anthology is poised to become an essential autumn classic--a book for Halloween and for cozy, spooky reading all year round. </p><br />
