Description

Midnight Grinding

by Ronald Kelly


It's dark. Crickets chirp in the black of night, accompanied by the lonesome

call of a whippoorwill. On the front porch of a ramshackle house, pale

moonlight reveals two forms in rocking chairs, facing one another. Just you

and the storyteller.


You are uneasy at first, a little nervousŠ but for what reason? After all,

they are only tall tales and folklore passed down from generation to

generation. Just a bunch of ghost stories and strange yarns conjured up for

your entertainment. Or are they? Perhaps, in some dreadful way, they are

based more in fact, than in fiction.


You sit there in silence for a long moment. You contemplate making an excuse

and taking your leave. But it is too late. In hushed tones, the storyteller

begins. The crickets grow disturbingly quiet and the whippoorwill is

replaced by the far away howling of a dog. Or something vaguely ‹ and

sinisterly ‹ similar.


Then the storytelling session begins. And the darkness about you grows even

darkerŠ


The children of an itinerant farm family are secretly terrorized by a

deranged handyman with a fetish for stone-honed steel and a deadly question

upon his whiskered lipsŠ


A Southern gentleman discovers that his demure and delicate wife suffers

from a horrible physical ailment that originates not from without, but

withinŠ


An infamous and dangerous gator reigns fear and death upon the dark swamps

of Black Bayou and, for one unfortunate Cajun, turns its underwater lair

into a watery HellŠ


Two Atlanta homicide detectives discover that a recent rash of cold-blooded

murders ‹ and the grisly trophies collected from the victims ‹ lead to a

horror born of cold winds and insanityŠ


A popular rockabilly star shares the secret of his sudden rise to fame and

the awful price he has paid to attain successŠ


A prodigal son returns to his hometown to find that nothing has changedŠ or

has it, due to some hidden and forgotten evil from centuries past?


An eager fan of horror films travels cross-country in search of his favorite

scream queen, only to find that some infatuations should be left unexploredŠ


And there are other tales, just as dark and disturbing. Tales that roll off

the storyteller's tongue like a smooth and subtle poisonŠ dragging you

downward, further downward into the shadowy depths of a dark and disturbing

imagination.


In his first short story collection, Ronald Kelly spins an array of unsavory

tales that could only beat in the dark heart of Dixie.


Come, have a seat on the ol' front porch and experience the blackness and

depravity that lies, hidden but alive, amid the kudzu and magnolias south of

the Mason-Dixon Line.
