The Stories:
Angel Eaters: Joann, a slow girl growing up poor in 1930’s Oklahoma, claims to talk to angels and raise animals from the dead. But when her father dies, the angel’s message takes a darker turn. As her mother hires a pair of carnies to raise her dead husband, Joann struggles to understand if her growing power is good or evil, and whether she should fight God to bring her father back.

Rattlers: Set in the 1970s, Rattlers follows the children of the survivors of Angel Eaters. Unwilling to accept her sister Kate’s death, Ernelle kidnaps Osley, her ex-lover and uses dark methods of persuasion to convince him to raise Kate from the dead. Meanwhile, Kate and Ernelle’s mother, believing her daughter was murdered, seeks revenge, while the two men who may have killed her share memories of the woman they loved.

8 Little Antichrists: Set 20 years in the future, 8 Little Antichrists imagines a dystopia where Disney Corporation runs jails and SONY clones workers. Skipping ahead two generations, 8 Little Antichrists follows Osley’s (from Rattlers) grandchildren – Jeremy and Melanie – in their quest to stop the apocalypse and save the world from the antichrists.
