When the Ghosts Come Tumbling In
By J.S. Douglas

The tumbleweed is haunted.

That isn’t unusual. Tumbleweed is dead the moment it dries enough to crack away from its roots and start its journey across the land, a green ghost of itself, letting out a whispered chuckle every time the wind sends seeds flying into verdant soil.

Like so many others, this tumbleweed is released from its anchoring root, the wind flinging it into the air. It lands on a grasshopper mouse, trapping it and killing it with sharp thorns and percussive bouncing.

The little animal’s soul hangs on, going for the ride of its life. Squealing in fierce joy as the dead plant leaps into the air and rolls over dunes like they’re nothing.

Just finished “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls.” It’s so fucked up. I loved it. #booksky📚

Also, my very rude dog tried to devour “Out There Screaming.” Fortunately, he just gnawed on the corner of the book so I can still read it. It’s soooo good so far! #booksky📚

Libby is literally the best. I cannot wait to read “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls” by Grady Hendrix. He’s one of my favorite authors! #booksky📚
