Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

THINGS ARE AS THEY SHOULD BE and other words to die for is an interconnected Southern gothic noir journey from Reconstruction New Orleans to a present-day landscape of terror. Each story invests the reader in a setting and characters that traverse the fringes of the Louisiana swamps, pool halls in New Orleans, and attics filled with boxes of cherished memories, each tale patinaed with desperation and death. "The imaginative stories in P.M. Raymond's Things Are As They Should Be and Other Words to Die For slip between Southern Gothic, thriller noir, and atmospheric horror with ease, bending reality till the familiar turns treacherous. Inside these pages lurk meddling ghosts, monstrous humans, and even a Santa gone wicked. Together, these tales guide the reader through a landscape of the strange, the cursed, and the beautifully unsettling." - Andrew K. Clark, author of WHERE DARK THINGS GROW and WHERE DARK THINGS RISE"P.M. Raymond is a bright new star in the world of speculative fiction. Not to be missed."-S.A. Cosby, author of BLACKTOP WASTELAND"With nineteen deeply imagined and unsettling tales that showcase immense range and mastery of the genre, P.M. Raymond's Things Are As They Should Be transports readers to an otherworldly New Orleans, where the thump of Blues and Dirty South Crunk music and the aroma of a bushel of fresh peas are rendered in tandem with demons, spells, curses, and monsters to create a sudden and unforgiving sense of terror. The gothic setting, gorgeous prose, and unforgettable characters make this a powerful must-read collection." -Tamika Thompson, author of THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS
