Synopsis
The American South has a long literary tradition. Here are fabulous original stories of the strange, the unseen, the magical American South by some of the most brilliantly talented Southern writers of our time. From darkly imagined, powerful tales by Bret Lott, Brad Watson, and Kalamu ya Salaam, to the sensual "A Plate of Mojo" by Honoree Fanonne Jeffers, to atmospheric works by Richard Butner and Jack McDevitt, to funny, piquant stories by Scott Edelman, Daniel Wallace, and Michael Swanwick, this is new fiction to delight many readers. With wonderful reprinted stories by Fred Chappell, John Kessel, Andy Duncan, Sena Jeter Naslund and others, "Crossroads" is a place to find great modern Southern magic realism, modern fabulism, and other remarkably entertaining fiction.

From the Back Cover
New Writing from the Southern Literary Tradition
"What Southern literature and the literature of the fantastic share is a rootedness in the particularity of place. The Mississippi of William Faulkner and Richard Wright and the Georgia of Flannery O'Connor and Alice Walker are akin to Bradbury's Mars, Tolkien's Middle-Earth, Baum's Oz, and the German forests of the Brothers Grimm. All are lands simultaneously real and imagined, luminously inventive yet as accessible and specific as the reader's backyard."
