HAUNTING VISIONS OF "FLYOVER COUNTRY" More than 50 emerging and established voices of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, horror, and other genres join to deliver fresh narratives rooted in the "forgotten" terrain and deep recesses of the American Midwest Writes anthology editor Randy Brown: "Giants still walk our flat and rolling lands, and swim in our deep lakes and rivers. Ask around any truck stop or diner, and you'll likely meet or hear-tell of frog people. Dog men. Wendigo spirits. Even our endless, flyover-skies contain ancient and thunderous birds. (Remember that, as you run to your next airport connections )" The book Cryptids, Kaiju & Corn: Poems and Micro-Stories about Modern Midwest Monsters collects more than 70 short poems and 300-word narratives of mythic beasts that illuminate, celebrate, or challenge stereotypes of Midwestern identity. Sections of the anthology include: Little Houses, Dark Harvests: Answers to the age-old question: "How're Ya Gonna Keep Them Monsters Down on the Farm?"Not From Around Here, are They?: Some cryptids, like you, may be just passing through.Squonks, Squawks & Sirens: Something is calling. Maybe it's an alarm. Either way, it's bad.Neighbors, Stones & Curses: Like the poet says, "Good walls make good neighbors." Includes 7 bonus pages of discussion-starters and prompts, for use in writing workshops, book clubs, and other gatherings
