The first short fiction collection from acclaimed novelist and video game writer Richard Dansky, Snowbird Gothic goes deep into the haunted forest of his imagination. From kudzu that smothers more than just trees to the secrets at the heart of a cloud of volcanic ash, from the beasts prowling the swamps of North Carolina to the battle cry of a thousand fallen leaves, Snowbird Gothic showcases the nightmares that can’t always be conjured on a monitor screen.
