This copy appears unread. "Clint Smith’s Ghouljaw stories use vivid imagery to build intense close-ups that connect reader with character, then adds psychologies corrupted by sex, loss, betrayal, guilt, cowardice, denial, and that fatal flaw pomposity. With sprightly literate language he twists old motifs into new shapes of the rural gothic, often embodied in some of the spookiest ‘monsters from the id’ yet imagined—creatures gory, squishy, bloody, witchy, wild. Not to forget a demonic ‘dog’ that scared the bejesus out of me! The monsters of humanity, too, find new life here, as blood cults, avenging mystics, violent poachers, PTSD, and repressed memories incarnate. Clint Smith’s Ghouljaw releases into the reader’s world a darkness that teaches, shakes, and warns. Read and after a night of tossing sleep you’ll awaken changed. For the better? Well, as it is with Smith’s characters, that matter’s up to you.” —Jim Powell. Yeah, plus they’re suppose to be rather Lovecraftian. This is a print-on-demand title. #53691
