Critically acclaimed, The Ballad of the Wayfaring Stranger and the Dead Man's Whore tells a backwoods spook story driven by longing, loss and unescapable doom. Demory catches the atmosphere of the old murder ballads perfectly here. It's a world where everyone takes it for granted that terrible things happen to the innocent, and where the only possible reaction to that news is a stoical shrug. The tale's chilling effect comes not from set-piece shocks, but rather from a sense of quiet, creeping unease that crawls a little deeper beneath your skin with every careful sentence. - Paul Slade, PlanetSlade.com Locus Recommended Short Story - 2012 Honorable Mention - Year's Best Horror, Vol. 5
