This tenth anniversary edition is a celebration of terror with a bonus story just for you."
"Road Kill": "A town with much to hide. A young man with nothing to lose. A past born of blood and built on bones. Even the monsters of Munsonville, Michigan, will fear the fury of a stranger's vengeance. All that is buried will be revealed." "Roadkillers": "When it comes to family, there is nothing off limits, nothing too far, nothing that cannot be done in the pursuit of revenge and the truth. For Tilling Diem, there is no bottom, just down, down, down. In this rural gothic follow-up to ROADKILL, one man's search for his own justice will unite him with a power bent on bloody revenge at any cost."

The author was approached to write a "Cozy Mystery" and created "A Shadow on the Violets" in a tight timeframe.
