Deadheading and Other Stories by Beth Gilstrap

A rich collection of Southern Gothic stories loaded with up-close details, strong voices, swift pacing and interesting plots. The stories seem to get better the more you read, ending with an engrossing finale, the title story.

“When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”
