6.25" x 9.5", 183 page hardcover with dustjacket titled NIGHTMARES IN DIXIE: THIRTEEN HORROR TALES FROM THE AMERICAN SOUTH edited by Frank McSherry, Jr., Charles G. Waugh, and Martin Harry Greenberg/ August House, ISBN # 0-87483-034-6, First Edition, copyright 1987/ You're holding horror in your hand like a black rose. Little dolls that kill... old forgotten gods that can inflict a terrifying vengeance... ghosts that walk at night by the mighty Mississippi... a visitor from a future of horrifying destruction... They're all gathered here, nightmares out of Dixie, in this, the first anthology of tales of the supernatural South. In fact, you might even call this book a confederacy of monsters. There are thirteen nightmares here, one for each state of Dixie. Dark visions these, by such authors as John D. MacDonald, the best selling mystery writer; Jesse Stuart, one of the nations biggest regional writers; Karl Edward Wagner, a psychiatrist whose knowledge of the abysses of the mind gives his tales a terror of solid conviction; and William Gilmore Simms, full-grown when Madison was president, one of whose works Poe himself called the best ghost story he'd ever read. These nightmares concern us all. For this is not merely a regional anthology. These stories are set not only in the South, but in the dark heart of man.
