Marking the Signs and Other Tales of Mischief

"These edgy and sometimes disturbing tales evoke the southern Appalachian folkways and mythology with a deftness that only a native can manage. Whether it's black magic against white, in Marking the Signs, or a country boy's passion for his truck, in Nice Truck, Laura J. Underwood has the right combination of believable characters, authentic mountain settings, a twist of humor, and cold-down-the-backbone touch of horror." - Elizabeth Moon
