    Aaron Platt has spent every day of his life breaking his back to scrape a living from the rocky, played-out fields of the Adirondack farm he inherited from his sadistic father. One winter morning, he follows footprints in the snow to his barn and discovers a man freezing to death in a horse stall. What unfolds between the two men, past and present, is a brisk, gritty depiction of crime and punishment. But their harrowing story is more than that, exposing the shocking hypocrisy of the people who live in the nearby, bucolic town—a legacy of hatred that reaches back to the violent founding of the nation. 
     
     
     
    This literary masterpiece includes a new Afterword by Jack Mearns, author of John Sanford: An Annotated Bibliography.

    But other weird clients demand the attention of a zombie P.I.—a lovestruck frog demon just wants her handsome, befuddled prince back after an evil spell wears off.

    These cases lead Dan Shamble and his companions to a secret society of Horn Brothers, where unicorns are murdered, where evil wizards are just trying to make amends, where fairy godmothers are not what they seem, and where the unicorns’ magical pets—their beloved horn dogs—are being dog-napped by a mysterious force. 
    And the undead just want a Happily Ever After, like everyone else.
