Black Flowers Many people think they know the South; the genteel hospitality, old-fashioned values, and life lived at a slower pace. But there is another South, a stranger one unknown to outsiders, brimming just beneath the surface.These stories explore that hidden world-within-a-world. A bizarre, distorted, funhouse mirror reflection of the culture you thought you knew.A young biracial boy in the 1950s deals with cultural hostilities, a punk rocker faces down a two-thousand-year-old cult, a widowed man has an unusual identity crisis, and a Native American girl discovers enchanted woods through a doorway in her grandmother's garden.Welcome to the Weird South. |
