These stories were filled with wonder, surprise and humor." -- Pale Yellow"I've never read a story quite like this. I am so totally in love with this author. It was as if Stephen King, William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor all got together and gave birth to one really weird child. That child is named Ward Webb." -- Southern Gothic"Ward Webb uses his magic to capture his readers and draw them into a story and leave them wanting more...If you are looking for an author who awakens your imagination with the written word, then look no further." -- A Visitor In Valhalla"It was so vivid I yelled at the characters ... then realized what I'd just done." -- Patience"I was on the second page when I stopped and returned to purchase everything Webb wrote. His gift at documenting the human condition, painting a scene and keeping you engrossed is something you seldom come across in 2012. Highly recommended!" -- Up The Gump Stump
