This Place Is Best Shunned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“This Place Is Best Shunned<\/a>“\u2014Allie and Rooster are heading down to Asheville for Rooster\u2019s new gig, a cushy stint as artist-in-residence at UNC. Rooster is more of a con artist than maker of art, but Allie doesn\u2019t mind, because he\u2019s good-looking, charming, and values what she is: a girl with a keen eye for abandoned places and a knack for getting into them. But when they stumble upon an old backcountry church\u2014the perfect backdrop for Rooster\u2019s latest project\u2014they discover that some \u201cabandoned\u201d places have a knack for keeping themselves occupied.\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhatever Comes After Calcutta<\/a>\u201d\u2014It was late in the day when Lyle Morimoto saw the hanged woman and almost crashed his Prius somewhere between Calcutta, Ohio, and whatever the hell came after Calcutta. For hours he\u2019d been sipping warm Gatorade and cruising the crumbling two-lane blacktop that sliced up the scrubby farmland of southern Ohio. He understood that he was not thinking clearly, but that seemed OK, since it also meant not thinking about his ear, or his wife, or Detective Jason Good, or the gun in the pocket of his suit jacket.\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
