Forget Arkham and Dogpatch, Yoknapatawpha County and Hooterville, forget what guidebooks might allege, because the weirdest town to be found in the Western Hemisphere is R , M . For over twenty years, author William Eakin has been spinning tales of this a backwater place, where strange encounters are more than local gossip and the kudzu hides all manner of creatures and adventures. Redgunk, Mississippi, is a small town where visitors can pay a few cents to see real-life mummy behind the Corner Liquor Store and Gas for just 50 cents, or hear good ol' boys and girls talking about alien abductions and the sighting of mermaids and monsters.

Industry Reviews

"An omnibus collection of Southern-fried weird fiction erects a mausoleum for a state's strangest town." - Kirkus Reviews

"William R. Eakin's stories soar and scatter like crows before buckshot. You never know which direction they'll go, but to read them is to be taken to a place where the journey truly does matter more than the destination. There is a whiff of the old masters here: Bradbury, Faulkner, O'Connor, and something more, something that is all Eakin. It's his voice, sure, a voice that rings out with the fury and truth of thunder over a dark cornfield. It's also the mood, the wisdom, the humor, and yes, the bits of intangible magic that push these stories beyond the restraints of literature and into the realm of myth. Redgunk-and these stories- will stay with me forever." - John Mantooth
