When nature gets up close and personal, it isn’t always pretty. A fallen tree sparks a poisonous feud between neighbors. A child searches the darkness for the gleam of a tiger’s teeth.

It was a fire that could be seen for miles, a fire that split the community, a fire that turned families on each other, a fire that it's still hard to get a straight answer about. A quarter of a century ago, someone held a match to Greenwood, Texas's cotton. Stephen Graham Jones was 12 that year.

Greenwood just leaned forward, pretending that the fire had never happened.

An exploration of truth, beauty, wisdom, and goodness at the intersection of faith and scholarship. We look for present and future hope, while attempting to honestly investigate the problems facing humanity and the church. By turns academic, devotional, serious and relaxed, Justin Winzenburg (Ph.D. New Testament) and Stephen W. Jones (Ph.D. International Development) commit to following truth even when that leads us into uncomfortable spaces of self-reflection and repentance. We also anticipate hope, present and future, and actively pursue it.

There are lines that probably shouldn't be crossed, doors that should stay shut, thoughts that shouldn't be considered. In these three novellas by Stephen Graham Jones, the dead talk, ancient evil opens its eyes, and that guy across the parking lot, he's watching you, and has been for a while now. Lock the door; tell yourself it's nothing; turn the radio up. It won't matter. You're already three miles past where you meant to stop.

Die Dinge stehen gerade nicht zum Besten in Mexicantown. Die US-Einwanderungsbehörde macht willkürlich Razzien, die Einwohner leben in Angst. Als die Leiche einer jungen mexikanischen Frau aus dem Detroit River gezogen wird, schaltet der Gerichtsmediziner Bobby Falconi seinen alten Freund August Snow ein. Denn die als Prinzessin verkleidete Tote war Opfer sexueller Gewalt und illegal im Land. Eine Spur der Korruption tut sich auf, die von der Einwanderungsbehörde in die höchsten Kreise der Gesellschaft und zu einem internationalen Menschenhandelsring führt.

Doch er hat die Rechnung ohne seine Feinde gemacht: Kurz nach seiner Rückkehr wird eine der mächtigsten Unternehmerinnen der Stadt tot aufgefunden.
