Publisher's Synopsis
Death upsets the quiet equilibrium and rustic charm of a small town on the Washington State peninsula when a well-intentioned blacksmith performs an unexpected civic duty for the town. While the blacksmith's actions remove a pernicious evil that had taken up residence along the nearby canal, the death of the predator allows a more ancient evil to slip into the waters of the canal. The townsfolk find themselves drawn into a vortex of dark uncertainty and shadow-stricken morality as investigators uncover secrets long thought buried . . .
The Hauntings of Hood Canal is a ghostly tale of the dark side of the quintessential American small town, and it is written by an author the Tulsa World says "has patented a hard-edged folksy narrative that conceals within its intricate voice the imminence of the supernatural."
Included in this edition are two additional stories that further illustrate the mystery and marvel of Jack Cady's rural narrative voice.
