“Ever run into any trouble?” - from “The Hitchhiker” 

        You’ll find plenty of trouble in these dark and gripping stories. Set in the mid-sixties, in rural Michigan , three average people face what could be the defining moments of their lives. In “The Hitchhiker,” Jeff, a young sailor on the way to see his girlfriend, has just thumbed a ride with a very dangerous driver. In “Abracadabra,” Wallace, a religious fundamentalist who struggles with incidents from his past, develops a new relationship with God. And in “What She Wanted,” Loraine, a waitress at an all-night diner, needs to get out of town before her ex-boyfriend gets out of jail. Follow these memorable characters whose fates become inextricably linked in Russell Reece’s new collection, The Mud Lake Trilogy.  

 

“Russell Reece excels at writing stories about creepy guys in cars. Here are three good ones.”

- Elise Juska, author of “The Blessings”
