My short story "Maps of the Bible" has just been published over on Monsters and Critics. Set in Alabama during the early 1960s, the tale is in some ways a ghost story (although it would be more correct to place the story within the Southern Gothic genre of literature). "Maps of the Bible" also functions as a prologue to my short novel Jeremiah, which consists of the story sequence "Cold Pelts," "One Side, Two Weeks, One Bathroom," and "Water Hearts."
