The Bridge on Jackson Road is a real location in south Texas. It's a haunt where teenagers go on idle weekend nights to holler from a wooden bridge and listen for the echoes, pulsing back on the wind. Sometimes it's their own voices and other times . . .
This anthology is a collection of short stories inspired by coming of age in a small town, the Karankawa Indians, and true hauntings. There are tales based on the Tex Mex lore of rural communities and the people and places, rare in a social workers visits, (the scary places).
These stories are perfect for a quick read at the beach or at the river house on a summer get away. They are meant to provoke fear, but not all of them are spooky.
