Tales From the Dark River

$5.00

There is a river that flows through the misty landscape of imagination, seeping up through the rocky earth high in the Appalachian Mountains. It winds southward through the foothills and the piedmont: It tumbles past the fall line, widens and deepens, and then meanders across the coastal plain until it finally reaches the gulf of Mexico.

And all along its length the great river inspires stories to tease listeners into wonder, or send a shiver down their spines.

These are the tales from the Dark River.

For the first time, hear original stories created by Dark River Writers, Atlanta’s professional association of fantasy, horror, science fiction and mystery authors.

This collection is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Thomas E. Fuller, a longtime member of the group, and the one who gave us our name.

    The Last Dragon to Avondale

    $5.00

    As a young lady waits for the subway, the roar of an approaching train becomes a very different kind of roar — and the train becomes a creature of quicksilver and flames. It could be a case of nerves, or a trick of the lighting in a dark, deserted rail station. Or it could be the defiant cry of a creature older than humanity.

    Ghost Dance

    $5.00

    “And the Earth will rebel against the White Man and against the sons and the daughters of the White Man and they and all their works will be swept aside and it will be as though they never were. And the buffalo will return in his millions and the Plains will be dark with his thunderings. Thus spoke the great Prophet Wodziwob to the Paviotso, thus speak I, Wovoka, to the Sioux. The Ghost Dance is the way. The Ghost Dance is our salvation. The buffalo, the buffalo will come again. They will come again. They will come. They will…”

    It’s just a Western theme park, a slightly seedy collection of weathered buildings and aged teepees. Every day the buses come, every day the tourists take their pictures, every day the streets echo with staged gunfights and faked bank robberies. And every day a group of old men stage a dance out of history.

    And out of time.
