"'In Road Closed: Twelve Bloody Short Stories to Brighten Your Day, ' charcoal-sketched creatures shuffle from the chambers of Jason Offutt's imagination into the shadows of our darkened bedrooms, and we can do little to stop them from taking us away. Within these pages we find dreamlike, macabre sequences of wonder and horror; karmic sexuality; monsters and beings hungry for the lifeblood of children and greasy spoon waitresses; a bent and dystopic space-time continuum; and gothic family issues which twist and rot like the arms of dead trees that may or may not be reaching for our throats. Readers should put this book down at their own risk. Once these twelve sink in their teeth, it's all over but the screaming." -- Luke Rolfes, author of 'Flyover Country'

Mysterious cold spots, disembodied voices, and smoky apparitions are just a few of the ghostly goings-on gathered by journalist Jason Offutt in his trek across Missouri. Visiting public places such as Civil War battlefields, university halls, and infamous mansions, Offutt draws from hundreds of interviews in his search for restless spirits. A serious but witty look at Missouri's place in the ghostly realm, this book brings together history, folklore, and just enough mystery to intrigue the skeptics and delight the believers.
