Wormwood by Poppy Z Brite

A collection of short stories by the infamous splatterpunk author Poppy Z Brite. Ranging from Southern Gothic ghost tales to underground New York, Brite captures the feel of Louisiana’s hot, sweaty nights, with the ghosts of pirates and their treasure, long-forgotten bell towers, dusty backroads, driving an open stretch of highway with the top down, and what lengths some will go to in order to keep a loved one forever. Not for the faint-of-heart.
