    About this ebook

    The Bridge on Jackson Road is a real location in south Texas where teenagers go on idle weekend nights to holler from a wodden structure and listen for the echoes pulsing back on the wind. Sometimes they listen for their own voices and other times . . .

    A collection of dark short stories intended to provoke: Karankawa, inspired by the native Americans who roamed the Texas coast, Audrey and the Summer of Storms, inspired by coming of age in the 1960's, Ghosts, a true haunting, and La Curandera, inspired by the Tex Mex lore in the small towns of south Texas. These are some of the tales, dark and mysterious, contained in this collection of short stories, perfect for a gathering at the camfires or stormy nights.
