What to expect in this short story collection: a thrilling bike chase, horror movie references, a burning car, bloodthirsty demons, a rooster with a drinking problem, aliens, and, of course, polyhedral dice. D. H. James is a southern humorist who is just as comfortable writing funny stories about growing up as an '80s kid in the mountains of Northwest Georgia as he is writing stories about ancient horrors, murders, and terrible people.
