In
these gritty, imaginative stories set in the mountains and small towns of the
South—often in motels, theme parks, or resorts—men and women find themselves at
the 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 or
her dog; a beleaguered young writing professor goes one step too far while
chaperoning the famous writer he finds darkly alluring. In the title story, an ex-high-school
basketball player living an uneventful life in her small hometown as a cashier helps her boyfriend rob a lottery winner, and finds herself
on an epic journey of fear, deceit, and betrayal.
