However, this celebration quickly develops into the darkest of seasons as the maiden of the Black Harvest is horrifically revealed. When a man seeks much needed solitude and relaxation, a cabin in the Smoky Mountains seems to be the perfect choice. That said, this particular cabin’s salvation conceals hidden horrors, tormented anguish and excruciating cruelty. A family explores a haunted house wherein the urban legend of Soap Sally allegedly dwells. Sally was a “witch” that abducted troublesome boys and girls making candles from their flesh inside her black iron cauldron. What they did not expect was an encounter with pure evil within the inhabited walls. Ronald Kelly is the sole caretaker of this short story collection entitled Haunt Of Southern-Fried Fear. In the tradition of EC Comics, Kelly offers up his Tennessean Tales that include everything from babies crawling from their midnight graves to a haunted four foot spinning circular blade.
