• Music: Let me tell you about Rose Marshall...

Children shouldn't play with dead things, you know...

It's the middle of August, and that means it's time for another mile along the route that runs from Sparrow Hill to the Last Chance Diner; it's time to take another trip in the company of Rose Marshall, crankiest hitchhiking ghost this side of the Atlantic Ocean. We only have four more stops before we reach the end of this particular road trip, and things are getting a little darker all the time.

Issue 56 of The Edge of Propinquity is live, and with it, the eighth of the Sparrow Hill Road stories is available. "Dead Man's Curve" follows Rose as she tries to take a night off in the company of some college kids...only it turns out they're on a mission, and it's one that just might get them killed. When Rose Marshall tangles with amateur ghost-hunters, it can only end in tears.

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.

Welcome to the ghostroads.
