Between the River and the Road — Jonathan L. Howard

A short story about a small city with a deep and dangerous past.

The oddest little things can hide the darkest secrets. There's a little oddity along the path that runs between the river and the road. Nothing major, but interesting. Just the sort of thing you'd mention while chatting.

But, whatever you do, don't go back there. Don't look again. Bad things might happen. Bad things WILL happen.

"Between the River and the Road" was the first professionally published story by Jonathan L. Howard, author of the Russalka Chronicles and the Johannes Cabal stories. It has been out of print for over a decade.
