Strings: Counted Twice

Luigi Stagnetti is fifty-seven, the finest marionettist working at the very bottom of the market, heir to a stage his father painted and nine puppets older than anyone can say. But one of them — the smallest, the Bambino, the one with real hair — does not always wait to be moved. A novel of craft, inheritance, and the things a family hands down without ever speaking of them.

Anyone can make a puppet move. A walk is different. A walk is weight.

The Little Lights

The House on Blackwood Lane

Every child in Bridgewater inherits the dare: touch the gate of the house on Blackwood Lane and live to tell it. When seven-year-old Tommy Aldridge — teller of magnificent lies — puts his hand flat on the iron, something very old looks up and takes his name. Inside, Eleanor Vance has one last bargain to make: seven bright and unspent lights, one terrible autumn, and an eternity that never has to feed again.

Everything in this world is bought, girl, and everything is paid for.

The Western Wolves

Out in the canyon country the graves won't stay shut, and when the moon is right the pack walks upright. Two crossed pistols, one debt left to pay, and a man riding into the red rocks where the wolves have started keeping their own law. A werewolf horror western about the wild that raised us — and the wild that wants us back.

In the canyon you don't die of the bite. You die of the moon.
