Prodigal Blues

Gary A. Braunbeck

After he finds himself stranded at a truck stop in Missouri, Mark Sieber gets one of the biggest shocks of his life when he recognizes the face of a little girl on a Missing poster as belonging to the same little girl he saw only a few minutes before. As the police and media begin to converge on the truck stop, Mark retreats back to his hotel room to call his wife and let her know what’s going on, only to be taken hostage by the same people who released the little girl.

Mark’s abductors have all been mutilated by Grendel — who may be very close behind them — and need someone with a “normal face” to help them carry out their plan for justice and returning home.

Consider this to be a thinly-disguised autobiography by means of reflections about movies, books, and writing. It’s not…

 

Graveyard People: The Collected Cedar Hill Stories

Gary A. Braunbeck

Welcome to Cedar Hill, Ohio, a deceptively commonplace bordertown between the familiar everyday and the phantasms, fancies, hauntings, and enchantments that wait in dimly-lit places for a chance to pass through the scrim of perception & make this place their home, as well. Those who live here don’t really have any choice and neither will you. Cedar Hill: “Main Street” tinged with the macabre, located just this side of night. This is the first of approximately 3-5 volumes to be published by Earthling collecting the author’s stories set in his fictional town of…
