No Tears for Old Scratch

By Ken Wohlrob

"Welcome to Knob's End-The Holiest Town in America."

So reads the sign that greets a mysterious stranger as he steps off a bus one dark night in upstate New York. But life is not so great in the small town of Knob's End. The economy has tanked, jobs are drying up, and people are losing their homes. Led by their local pastor, Father Balano, the citizens' only source of pride is an award-winning community display-"The Graveyard of the Innocent." Once the stranger arrives, however, life in Knob's End begins to unravel. Soon, a child is missing and the sins start stacking up. As the stranger stirs the pot, he can't avoid confrontations with menacing old ladies, anarchic metalheads, pugnacious Christians, and the ghosts of his own past...

No Tears for Old Scratch is a dark and humorous literary tale about an outsider who suddenly finds himself lost in a veritable dead-end.
