"My village-tucked as it is in a crease between the imposing tree-furred mountains that separate our country from the neighbor with whom we share the longest border-is one of the remotest in the land." Explore the dark and lonely corners of Jeffrey Thomas's imagination in his latest bizarre and disturbing short story collection. A mourning ghost who cannot find peace in death haunts her village, a monk discovers an unorthodox way to transcend, and Cholukan (The Holy Monkey) contends with demons. Illustrated by Mike Dubisch, the master of the macabre.
