A stolen UFO, the ghost of a dead outlaw, a super-powered toddler, a traveling rocket salesman, 3 fat hags, a nuclear explosion... And one 1967 SS Chevelle with four on the floor. This is the story of the late outlaw Hank Grady whose legend still echoes throughout Culloden County, Mississippi to this day. Told through alternating perspectives of those who knew him (and many who didn't) it peels backward through time the layers of this enigmatic figure and finally arrives at his unbelievable origin, one tied directly with the detonation of a 5.3 kiloton atomic bomb in South Mississippi in the 1960's.

"It's, more or less, The Hobbit re-imagined as a series of southern-fried crime misadventures. Hank Grady's far-flung higher-n-hobbit-height tall tales are the stuff of legend." 
--Jedidiah Ayres, Editor of NOIR @ THE BAR and DICKED, AN ANTHOLOGY
"An amazingly fun page-turner." 
 --Heath Lowrance, Author of THE BASTARD HAND and DIG TEN GRAVES
"A cross between REPO MAN and THE WILD AND WONDERFUL WHITES OF WEST VIRGINIA." 
 --David James Keaton, Editor of FLYWHEEL MAGAZINE and Author of ZEE BEE &amp; BEE 
"Raise a Holler is furious and carnal, a rampage of country madness and vigor. Imagine a resurrected Sherwood Anderson tearing through Mississippi, drinking PBRs with Harry Crews, gravel flinging from their mudflaps. Here is a cataclysm of spectacle and fate told in hard jabbing language. Stuart is a literary man on the loose."
 --Charles Dodd White, author of LAMBS OF MEN and SINNERS OF SANCTION COUNTY
It’s summer, 1967, and 16 year old Hank Grady could do with a lot less of his daddy’s whippings and his daddy’s Jesus, so when a one-eyed traveling rocket salesman tells him and his friend Billy of a lost stash of bootleg whisky leftover from the old days, they’re off and running. But, a gaggle of fat hags, an angry militia, and a full host of other strange obstacles will impede their mission at every turn. Nonetheless, Hank Grady, the future outlaw of Culloden County, Mississippi, is determined to get to the whisky that will make him a legend.
