I HIGHLY recommend "Just North of Nowhere," by Lawrence Santoro. In this sequential novel about Bluffton, a small town in the Driftless -- a back-of-the-hills, dusty, forgotten slice of the midwest -- you may find witches, monsters, aliens, sentient cars... and often do! Fans of Bradbury, King, Faulkner -- rejoice! This book is fun to read for its chapter/story titles alone: "Best Not To Go Where Strange Things Wander," "God Screamed and Screamed, Then I Ate Him," and "'What Do You Know of Death?' Clown Said One Night to the Haunted Boy." Read further and you will find that the secrets of Stregas are not so cut and dry as you might think, that the vigor of lost youth may be renewed by drinking lightning from mason jars, and to look old photographs just a little more closely. Read this and weep... I mean, read this and laugh out loud with delight!

This is a great story. Larry was nominated for a Horror Writers award for this. Really good. Read it.
