happyIssue 52 of The Edge of Propinquity is live, and with it, the fourth of the Sparrow Hill Road stories is available. "Building a Mystery" takes us deep into the ghostroads, and all the way along the back of the Old Atlantic Highway, where the routewitches may hold the key to Rose's past—and to her future. All she has to do is survive...and for the dead, that can prove to be surprisingly hard.
There are a lot of stories trapped and tangled in the twilight. This is only one of them. But it's the one I have to tell.
Give a girl a ride?

I tried looking up Salem but that doesn't seem to fit.
A web search suggests "Glastonbury" or "Avallon", but neither of those are in America or are (afaik) associated with death.

I love the way this series of stories is being told - it shares the plotting path most of my favorite anime series took. You introduce your characters, you tell nice stories about the things they do/have done, and then you actually start telling the REAL story. Which is a whole lot nicer, not having to constantly take steps back to explain WHY this or WHY that, you got all that act II stuff up front.
(If the old, closed Husky Truck stop in Barstow could make a guest appearance, you will make this old larker very happy. They used to make deep dish apple pie in ramen bowls, and served it with hand-scooped vanilla ice cream you had to ask for a saucer to put it in or you made a helluva mess trying to eat it all together. Long gone now. *sigh*)
Go get 'em, Rose.

Ah! That's why these announcements feel familiar.
The "Give a girl a ride?" closing is similar to the closing line in the "coming in the next episode" part of some dubs.
