At times I was reminded of the powers of Robert McCammon, the power he wields in the field of fiction.
This is one of those stories I just [...]

“I love going to graveyards. I love going to graveyards not because they’re spooky, but because there’s something marvelously restful. You know, you’ve got all these headstones. They have these [...]
