Echoes from The Hocker House
A short story collection by Virginia Watts

Published by Devil’s Party Press

“Entrancing, edgy, and melodramatic tales with a palpable bite … Watts writes with a profound, confident voice.
KIRKUS REVIEWS

[A] collection of moody, atmospheric, stories from deep in the woods of Pennsylvania, where things aren’t quite as they seem, as the shadows come down through the dense trees. We consider this a literary collection, because it’s not horror, but that doesn’t mean that literature won’t make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
