Welcome to Ford

In this collection of 14 speculative short stories, author A.A. Garrison takes us to Ford, North Carolina, a sleepy little mountain town named after a Civil War deserter. Though out of the way, the town seems to attract an immoderate share of the fantastic and the macabre.

Amongst Ford’s citizens are:

•Blake (“The Fifty”), who purchases revenge with a fifty-dollar bill
•Candy Patrice (“Cloyed”), a young woman who adopts a most unorthodox diet-plan
•Mara Dees (“Additive Free”), star in a grisly scheme to appease visitors from outer space
•Johannes Bitter (“Half Dead”), an undertaker with an exceptional case of lady trouble
•The Doctor (“See Sick”), a roving voyeur who sees more than he bargains for
•Frank Belmont (“Dead End”), who goes hunting for nostalgia and finds trouble
•Brian (“Brian, Destroyer of Worlds”), who commits murder by coffee
•Zedok Crane (“The Package”), amnesic serial killer extraordinaire
•The Narrator (“The Center”), a man who saw the face of God
