The Bridge On Jackson Road Phyllis H Moore

The Bridge on Jackson Road is a real location. Teenagers headed there on weekends when there was nothing to do, watching the city limits sign fade away in the rear-view mirror. They headed to a mysterious creek bed where echoes drifted back to them as they stood in the middle of the wooden bridge - echoes of young voices and idle hours. It was the place they went looking for a thrill, and sometimes they were indulged. This anthology is a collection of short stories intended to provoke those thrills of the 1950's and '60's - those howls from the bridge. It has the B-movie horror feel from days gone by. It's meant to be shared around the campfire, or read with friends in front of the fireplace on a stormy night. The spookiest thing about some of these stories is they are inspired by real events - unexplained happenings in small towns in south Texas. How many things outside our awareness happen every day? Hauntings occur, accidents happen, and echoes bring messages of hidden screams. Just in time for the stormy days ahead and the glow of faces in the fire, spooky stories to bide the time and take readers to another place. Karankwa, inspired by the natives who roamed the Texas coast, The Collector, about a young girl dealing with grief, and Audrey and the Summer of Storms, a memoir inspired story about a summer in the '60's, among others -- Boo! These are not children's stories, but adult tales meant to provoke fear.
