Deliver me from evil and deliver me from darkness...deliver me from Bobby Cross.

Rose Marshall has dared the Ocean Lady and come out the other side—but what does she have, and what has she paid? Her journey's barely starting, and she has a long, long way to go before she has a chance in hell of making it to harbor. And once you're dead, risking your life becomes a lot more terrifying...

Issue 53 of The Edge of Propinquity is live, and with it, the fifth of the Sparrow Hill Road stories is available. "El Viento del Diablo" takes us back into the daylight America, where Rose is running ragged...and a man named Bobby Cross is running too close for comfort. Deliver me from evil and deliver me from darkness, and deliver me, O Lord, from Bobby Cross.

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?

Actually, it wasn't the body-count that did it. It was that she was taking them home.
Yup, that's what did it for me as well. It was almost a happy ending, in a reverse sort of way. A 'right' ending, sort of sad and happy at hte same time.

I really want to read these stories as a collection...

Seconded.

You've inspired me to start watching the roads/roadsides.

Good. :)
I hope that I can make that happen, once the year is out!
