Stories from the Blue Moon Cafe III: Anthology of Southern Writers Reviews


  • Emilymcmc

    A neat anthology, though a lot of the stories are kinda what you'd expect from Southern dude writers: guy loses girl, guy gets dog, guy digs grave. But all are competent, and one story in particular, "For Those Who Ride the Dog," by Nikki Barranger, is truly wonderful. Worth a look.
