Readers are singing the praises of today’s haunting, poetic literary fiction, Wicked Temper. The Oxford American Magazine calls new author, Randy Thornhorn, “One of the South’s wildest new voices…” This stunning prequel to Thornhorn’s debut novel, Kestrel Waters, is causing quite a stir with readers. Don’t miss out. 
Lets take a peek at Wicked Temper:
In the long and jagged shadow of Riddle Top lies a darkling mountain world—-a world of unholy mirth and madness, of gods and demons you never knew existed.
Hitch a wild-ass ride with two runaway teens—-the runty but tough preacher’s girl Tizzy Polk and her punk boyfriend Matthew. They might think they are Bonnie and Clyde, but they might also race headlong into an evil far greater than their own. They may come to see things darkly different and seldom seen on that bewitched mountain known below as Riddle Top.
Take care, folks say in story and song. Watch your step. And beware up there where the wind doth howl like the hellhound electric. Up there, where Tizzy and Matthew come knocking on a strange door. For nobody knows what awaits once you’ve disturbed your disturbing host. Your hands are in his hands now. And the scariest thing of all? He’s got all the time in this world.
