Weird Rhody: Five Tales From The Ocean State That Aren't Quite Right

Within its pages, a father meets a mysterious little girl during a trip to the beach, aging athletes explore the limits of superstition, a killer boasts superhuman abilities, a small town listens to an hauntingly influential tune, and a Grinch learns the hard way that you shouldn't take the Christmas spirit for granted.The tales come from Rhode Island authors Dennis, J. Kafalas, Paul Lonardo, Bob Sherman and G.A. Miller, and Rob Borkowski. The cover art, "Salty's Chair," comes courtesy of Mary Carlos. The authors offer brief introductions of their tales, focusing on the inspirations that brought them to life. Anthology editor Rob Borkowski provides an introduction referencing the legacy of famed horror writer and fellow Rhode Islander H.P. Lovecraft, for good or ill.
