A Natural History of Hell

A Natural History of Hell: Stories by Jeffrey Ford

Summary: Emily Dickinson takes a carriage ride with Death. A couple are invited over to a neighbor's daughter's exorcism. A country witch with a sea-captain's head in a glass globe intercedes on behalf of abused and abandoned children. In July of 1915, in Hardin County, Ohio, a boy sees ghosts. Explore contemporary natural history in a baker's dozen of exhilarating visions.

Angie’s comments: A Natural History of Hell is a combination of sci-fi, fantasy and horror. Each story is very different, but all are imaginative and odd. Each story sucks you into the world of the story.


Recommended for readers who like horror and more outré fiction.
