Inthese gritty, imaginative stories set in the mountains and small towns of theSouth--often in motels, theme parks, or resorts--men and women find themselves atthe mercy of an inspiration gone wrong: a man on a tryst is seduced by a ghost;a woman conducts a test to discover who is her true best friend--her husband orher dog; a beleaguered young writing professor goes one step too far whilechaperoning the famous writer he finds darkly alluring.
