A year after her death in a burning barn, Dancy's Flammarion's now finds
herself in a Hell of her own creation. A new evil haunts the
sun-scorched back roads and ghost towns of the American South -
murderous twins who command a legion of ghouls. Once again, Dancy must
face down demons, those who walk the world unchallenged and those in her
own shattered mind.

Praise for the work of Caitlín R. Kiernan:
Caitlín R. Kiernan is the poet and the bard of the wasted and the lost.
-Neil Gaiman
One of our essential writers of dark fiction . . . a cartographer of
lost worlds. -The New York Times
Kiernan's richly evocative prose vividly portrays her twisted characters
as well as it illustrates their eerie, kudzu-infested, Deep South
surroundings. -Booklist
Kiernan imbues the tales with disquieting gothic imagery and envelops
them in rich, evocative prose that conveys cohesiveness beyond their
fragmentary plots. -Publisher's Weekly
