Through the Pale Door
"If there were an annual Southern Gothic Fiction Award, Brian Ray's debut novel
might win this year's."
-- Gina Webb, Atlanta Journal Constitution
Sarah
West takes a temporary job at her father's South Carolina steel mill the summer
before college, hoping for relief from the chaos of her psychotic and often
institutionalized mother. But from the first day of June to the waning days of
August, relief is the last thing Sarah finds. Soon after moving into her separated
father's house--more like an industrial museum than a home--tragic news about her
mother arrives.

In Morgan's Shadow
Originally written as serial for the internet, In Morgan's Shadow was
penned on the fly during a twenty-week period in late 2000 and early
2001 by ten very talented Spartanburg fiction writers with ten very
different styles. One would write a chapter, then pass the narrative on
to the next author. Each Monday, a chapter was posted on a website
operated by the Spartanburg Herald-Journal.

creative writing contest.

New Southern Harmonies
The first collection of short stories from the Hub City Writers Project
brings together the work of four award-winning fiction writers from
South Carolina. New Southern Harmonies is a literary sampler of their
art. The range of styles and subjects in these stories is as diverse as
the landscape of the Palmetto State -- from the offbeat humor of George
Singleton's "Outlaw Head and Tail," to the piercing passion of Rosa
Shand's "Density of Sunlight," to the sprawling, strange drama of Scott
Gould's "Nothing Fazes the Autopilot," to the unexpected twists of Deno
Trakas's "Eugene."
