“Tales from Blue Springs" incorporates the 4 novellas into one Southern Gothic Romance that weaves thet lives of The Hatchet Woman, The Hook Man, Animal Man and The Freak into a timeless sanctuary of fiction, fantasy, mythology and truth.
 
You return home to Alabama in 1989, renting a cabin in Blue Springs along the Elk River.  You hear the campfire story of “The Hatchet Woman” Sarah Bullington; her baby was thrown down a well. Sarah is now rumored to run crazed and naked in the woods armed with a hatchet.   She is not alone. “The Hook Man” is also on the loose; Gerald Hardy, a peg-legged, hook-armed killer, is seeking revenge for his cheating wife. He knows he must retrace his steps to find restitution and, perhaps, happiness. Meet Yesser, spawn from the mating (and chromosomal synchronization) of a human and a bear. The magical “Animal Man” deciphers the code of time travel to meet his dead father. You find Sarah, nearly frozen to death.  Is she real, a figment of your imagination, or a reflection of your own Freak-ish fears? Your headaches intensify. You begin to have blackouts. Your cranial bones crack to reveal your alter ego (or archangel?) X+Y=Z.
 
Time is timeless in Blue Springs as it weaves back and forth to right wrongs and give the hopeless hope. "Tales from Blue Springs" is a funny, quirky and horrifying story, an urban legend retold as a healing tale.
