Devils Need Not Apply

by Jason Danley

The twisted tales in this horror short story collection are set in the Mississippi River bottoms and most of them feature either damaged, lonely characters or the ghosts of those who once were. The fading memories of two ghosts are explored in Dearest Hours. A hiker meets a mysterious stranger late at night on the trail in Broken. In the short story, Her Boyfriend’s Jacket, a young man is warned to stay out of the Mississippi River bottoms because they are haunted by the ghost of a missing woman, but will he ignore the warning? The stories in this book are listed as Broken, Dearest Hours, Hers Forever, Her Boyfriend’s Jacket, Narcolepsy, One-track Mind, and the novella, Melissa. We believe ghost stories are meant to be fun and are best when read out loud. Are ghosts real? We don’t know, but the stories in this book are filled with them.
