Friday night football stars mingle with sirens; hunters&rsquo; wives help their kids not to shoot, but to fly; Chanticleers spar their way into local government; and rash-afflicted men take dryads for lovers. In backwater towns, some witches have the know-how to pin pageant queens pretty, while others relieve girls of highfalutin aspirations. Local crow-boys and bloodthirsty Ursines are the best miners around.<\/p>\n<p>In these thirteen stories, forests are imbued with the deepest, saddest strains of country music,&nbsp;cornfield horizons stretch as long as a lone fiddle&rsquo;s wail, and distant hills make mandolin promises: sweet and catchy and short-lived.<\/p>\n<p>With an introduction by World Fantasy Award-winning writer Helen Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>Cover by Vince Haig.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bookshop.ticonderogapublications.com\/product\/songs-for-dark-seasons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Available now in hardcover paperback and ebook here. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while between titles, but we&#8217;re overjoyed to announce our latest release.
