What is You Never Believe Me : and Other Stories about?
The author of The Night of the Hunter never went far in spirit from his West Virginia roots. In addition to his ten highly praised novels, Davis Grubb published numerous short stories in a variety of magazines. Like The Night of the Hunter , many of these have an atmosphere of dark forces behind the everyday life of a small mining town in the Appalachian mountains. Here is a selection of stories that brings to vivid life Davis Grubb's inimitable characters and his West Virginia in the thirties and forties. He has created an American town, with its eccentrics and heroes, its quirky farmers, its hardened miners, its free-ranging children. There is sly and earthy humor in these tales, and a spectrum of human emotion. *You Never Believe Me *Fifty of Blue *Bitter Almonds *The Stainless Steel Savior *And Presently He Died *The Night Watchman's Daughter *Long Pants *Every Road I Walked Along *The Last of the Chiefs *Return of Verge Likens *The Crest of '36 *The Last Days of Poncho Pete *Magenta Blue *Picayune Pete and the Ninety-Proof Cow *Green Thumb *Checker-Playing Fool *The Horsehair Trunk *Tally Vengeance
