The Blades Kept Singing  
by Michelle Joy Gallagher

Hell hath no fury
Hell needn’t any.
The frost stung enough
And the blades kept singing.
Blood wrung from
The body,
Earth dug to
Accommodate.
Clay aches with the weight.
All the devils
All the devils
Laughing in the wind.
Hell hath no fury,
Hell hath none.
It blooms instead in
Wild and forgotten
Groves
And bones.

Welcome to Blackhawk, Colorado. Blackhawk has always been strange. Natural disasters. Disappearances. Murders. High strangeness is a part of daily life. We can’t hope to explain it, but we can chronicle its past. Learn from it. Fear it. Blackhawk is an experimental fiction series set in a shared universe, written by a variety of talented authors. It is the brainchild of David M Brown (Plague Doctor, Modern Animals) and Carl D Smith (Moleb the Giant, Darkness Out of Carthage). Each story will contribute to an organic, evolving mythology as diverse as the voices behind its tales. For fans of True Detective, Lost Highway, Twilight Zone, and The Terror. This is Volume Two of the series and contains five stories by five different authors, each in tune with the specific strangeness Blackhawk has to offer. NOTE: For fans of Lake Lord Publishing’s prior horror titles, be warned that Blackhawk will contain content that is perhaps more disturbing and mature.

Available on Amazon!
