Rural Horror comprises four stories that work through family legacy, generational curses, and ancestral scarring. The setting of each one comes from visions the author had growing up, as she interpreted what went on around her. No escape but down forces the reader to the edge of a high seacliff. Suicide by sea beckons the reader toward the most peaceful place in all the land. Gravedigger buries the reader in a shallow hole. Incinerator leaves the reader beside a blazing fire, to make what they will of everything that has happened.
