"Caitlin R. Kiernan is the author of many science fiction and dark fantasy works including nine novels, numerous comic books, as well as more than two hundred published short stories, novellas, and vignettes. Her noteable works include The Drowning Girl- A Memoir, The Red Tree and Tales of Pain and Wonder. Alabaster features her ongoing character, Dancy Flammarion who fights monsters, cutting a bloody swath through the demons and dark things of the world, aimed like a weapon by forces beyond her control.

A year after her death in a burning barn, Dancy's Flammarion's now finds herself in a Hell of her own creation. A new evil haunts the sun-scorched back roads and ghost towns of the American South - murderous twins who command a legion of ghouls. Once again, Dancy must face down demons, those who walk the world unchallenged and those in her own shattered mind.
