The Beautiful Judith

We *know* the beautiful Judith mentioned in this book. And it's all TRUE!

Nagy's "Hanged Man of Oz" story in Gathering The Bones

This particular story in "Gathering The Bones" has made it impossible for me to watch The Wizard of Oz without looking for the fabled "hanged man." I'd heard of this urban legend many times before, but Nagy's well-drawn characters and compelling, mindbending narrative has brought the cinematic oddity to life. I'll never be able to watch that movie again without feeling just a bit creeped out.
