If phrases like "Literature of the American South" or "Thematic Southern Literature" imply an emphasis on family, community, shared values, devotion to religion, racial tensions, the land and the power it brings, as well as an author who comes from that part of the country, then these fifteen short stories quality. Each is rooted in Georgia. But they just as easily could have germinated in the tradition-rich soils of Arkansas, Alabama, the Carolinas, Louisiana, Mississippi or Tennessee.

What happened in and around Knotty Pine, West Virginia late in the 19th century is a little-known story. Unlike violent acts in the Old West which have been popularized on America's big screens, this and most stories of serial crime remain local. There are no famous outlaws here, no world-class sleuths, no riveting courtroom scenes, nothing to rival the glamorized lives of men named Bonney, Cassidy, Hardin and Horn. There's only that common thread of twisted motive, which so often spawns evil deeds.
