What the Dreams Kept

Six stories of Southern horror, grown from real dreams.

A granddaughter inherits her grandmother’s house, and the thing living in the mattress. A grieving niece falls asleep after a funeral and wakes in a burning world that asks only one question: pray, or believe? A sixteen-year-old climbs a dead tree and is offered everything, at a price written in a ledger of names. A woman gets three visits from the dead: a voice in the dark, a question with no answer, and a small bright house where the work never ends. A priest walks toward a serpent in a graveyard, and waves. And on an ordinary night in Georgia, the sky fills with ships flying in threes.
