Synopsis

Containing two ghastly ghost stories and a freak-filled family legend, After the Cock Crows is a collection of entirely enthralling short stories that are sure to tickle your senses and delight your interests in the strange, unexplained, and unusual.

“Michelle’s Ghost” finds a small-town woman hunted by a deadly menace after she inadvertently releases a curse by killing a spider with an old crucifix. The story is short but shocking and will have you on the edge of your seat—but sit back before you read the next one, or you may just fall off your rocker.

“Duncan’s Passion” follows Tammy and Tom Cornett on the old murder trails and ancient haunts outside of their farm, which they recently inherited along with a fortune and a few family ghosts. Told in a tone echoing the great Stephen King’s voice, it takes frightening, and sometimes funny, twists and turns that lead up to a climactic ending that will leave your head spinning.

The third and final story, “Fiddling Blue Billy and His Bigfoot Wife,” doesn’t involve ghosts, but, rather, a young boy and a Kentucky couple of immense proportions and intensely odd fixations. Full of suspense, action, and hillbilly humor, it’s a one-of-a-kind yarn you won’t want to miss.
