Long Chills

A teenage girl with second sight is brought to an abandoned farmstead to locate the bodies of several abducted children, only to find an entire graveyard beneath her feet. A detour on a rural road reveals a horrifying presence that both deceives and feeds. In ancient Ireland, a young priest suffers bestial dreams linked to the dark legend of a werewolf warrior. A physician with a special talent attempts to keep life and dignity sacred in post-apocalyptic Texas, while a sadistic general works equally hard to destroy it.
Two children in a farming camp are terrorized by a demented handyman with a crippled hand and a fondness for well-honed steel. Nuclear fallout brings horrors beyond imagining to a mountain family in the form of rampant mutation, as well deceit and derision among themselves. In Long Chills, acclaimed horror author Ronald Kelly explores the dark hills and hollows of his native South, as well as other disturbing places, with this new collection of thirteen novellas and long fiction stories.
