The Devil's Backbone - Kelly, Ronald

. .

Résumé :
Join three of horror's finest storytellers on a journey through the dark heart of Appalachia... AFOOT IN THE NETHERWILD by Ronald Kelly: When the children of Bowden Ayres mysteriously disappear in the woods near their homestead, he enlists the aid of Uriah Coldcreek, a seventh son and purveyor of mountain magic. Together, they travel into the deepest depths of the Devil's Backbone, intent on locating a place known as the Netherwild... the realm of the Coveter, an otherworldly being who steals away the mountains' youth for its own selfish needs. SPIRIT COVEN by Laurel Hightower: For generations, Jude and her coven of witches have co-existed peacefully with the citizens of Arnett, providing them with remedies and top shelf bourbon, especially valued during the draconian days of Prohibition. But when too many townsfolk go missing and dead, trust is broken and the witches find themselves on shaky ground, facing threats from frightened families, from the mountain they protect, and the very magic they steward. THE GATHERER by Red Lagoe: Gray Hollow lies at the foot of evil-a dark part of the forest home to The Devil's Bathtub. Martin is skeptical of the local folklore warning of the dangers of dipping even a toe into its waters. However, after his brother leaves for Vietnam, more people fall victim to the water's summoning darkness, and Martin struggles to make sense of it all, determined to hold onto life's fraying reality.
