Shibboleth

The best stories get repackaged and retold over centuries, millenia. Think Angela Carter's masterful retellings of Little Red Riding Hood and others in The Bloody Chamber. Think Maxine Hong Kingston's reworking of Mulan in The Woman Warrior. Think Disney. Now think Bible, lock the door, kick a bucket of blood, and jump into Jim Sullivan's way-back machine. Seat belt on. This is hot damn church for smart folks-Steve Davenport, author of Uncontainable Noise, Overpass, and Murder on Gasoline Lake-Steve Davenport, author of Uncontainable Noise, Overpass, and Murder on Gasoline Lake
