Milestone
Milestone: The Collected Stories | Kealan Patrick Burke
7 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
From the Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of THE TURTLE BOY, KIN, and JACK & JILL. Somewhere out west there is a town called Milestone. You will not find it on any map. If you're lucky, you won't find it at all. Once a thriving mining community, the few souls who still dwell there know nothing of hope and everything of damnation. Because Milestone may appear near-death, a ghost town in the making, but it is very much alive. There are the stories of invisible barriers that open and close the borders on a whim, sometimes fatally, the whispers of a man in a top hat who comes cycling up out of the darkness of the abandoned mine to change the fate of the town, the buried music box that summons him, the people with unnatural powers, the old man who counts stacks of pennies and prays they never fall...and the fires that burn brightly with the sounds of screams. Milestone is very much alive, and those unlucky souls trapped within its borders have little choice but to learn the true nature of their prison, or become its latest victim. And even as they fight against the inevitable, the borders continue to expand. Milestone is growing. Included in the following book are the novellas "The Witch," "Saturday Night at Eddie's," "Thirty Miles South of Dry County" and "The Palaver."

As an aside, I just logged my 1,000th book read on Litsy! Last year I had hoped to reach 1,000 books and 250,000 pages read. I met the pages goal but fell short of the other (by three, I think), mostly because of events in the fall that derailed my reading (and life) for the rest of the year. But I made it! And now I‘n catching up on some posts for this week.

4 tales. A deputy comes to a reckoning with his past, ghosts meet up in a bar on a Saturday night to pay penance, an old man searches for his friends, and a barber remembers his purpose. I‘m going to file this under recession horror. All tales take place in the dying cursed town of Milestone. Burke solidly writes about the hopelessness and regret mixed with the supernatural. This was a nice snack of a book at 166 pgs to get ready for Halloween.

Guildedearlobe I‘ve been meaning to read one of his. I‘ll check it out 6y
Reggie @Guildedearlobe if you haven‘t read his Kin, read that first. This was good but Kin is his best I‘ve read so far. 6y
Suet624 I think it‘s possible that you make every book sound stackable. 6y
Reggie @Suet624 book, stories excite me. What can I say? Thanks for the kind comment. 6y
