The Axman's Shift (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991649662)

Randy Thornhorn is a teller of many sweet and eerie and sorrowful tales, including this one, and his novels Wicked Temper and The Kestrel Waters. Most of Mr. Thornhorn's stories occur in a displaced world, a fable-infested Southern region some would surely deem unsafe. He visits often, sometimes stays the night. Other nights he might be found on a wooded hilltop somewhere east of Montgomery in the land of Alabama.

He seldom sees angels fly his skies. But magpies are another story.
