Road Closed Jason Offutt

"'In Road Closed: Twelve Bloody Short Stories to Brighten Your Day, ' charcoal-sketched creatures shuffle from the chambers of Jason Offutt's imagination into the shadows of our darkened bedrooms, and we can do little to stop them from taking us away. Within these pages we find dreamlike, macabre sequences of wonder and horror; karmic sexuality; monsters and beings hungry for the lifeblood of children and greasy spoon waitresses; a bent and dystopic space-time continuum; and gothic family issues which twist and rot like the arms of dead trees that may or may not be reaching for our throats. Readers should put this book down at their own risk. Once these twelve sink in their teeth, it's all over but the screaming." -- Luke Rolfes, author of 'Flyover Country'
