Sulfer is a quiet town in rural Indiana where everyone knows each other. It also happens to be home to river monsters, zombie dogs, cursed grimoires and demonic shapeshifters. At its center is Charlie “Crawdad” Crawford, a hillbilly John Constantine, Sulfer’s last line of defense against the forces of hell. When the Dixie Mafia makes a move to introduce the meth trade to Sulfer, Charlie must use the powers afforded to him by both his occult knowledge and a twelve gauge shotgun to fight an enemy who might be something more than human. "A seedy, violent, unsettling, and at times darkly hilarious crawl through the blackest backwoods...one of his best." -Brian Keene

Nate Southard is moody, shy, lanky, bald, and has bad skin. When he isn’t writing, he’s probably cooking Thai food or fried chicken. Seriously, he has something like fifty fried chicken recipes. It’s ridiculous. He recently discovered coffee-flavored ice cream, and it’s ruling his entire world. Did you know if you mix it with chocolate ice cream, you can kinda make mocha ice cream? Nate does! Nate lives in Austin, Texas. He sucks at skateboarding. Nate Southard's books include Will the Sun Ever Come Out Again?, Scavengers, This Little Light of Mine, Red Sky, Just Like Hell, Broken Skin, and He Stepped Through. His short fiction has appeared in such venues as Nightmare Magazine, Cemetery Dance, Black Static, Thuglit, and LampLight. His short story "Going Home, Ugly Stick in Hand" received an honorable mention in Ellen Datlow's The Year's Best Horror, and he earned a Bram Stoker Award nomination for his story "In the Middle of Poplar Street."
