'Nearly every story in this interwoven collection will leave readers questioning what they would have done instead.'-Benjamin Inks, author of Soft Targets'Through skillful and surprising storytelling, Price plumbs the depths of human loneliness, examining our primal need for meaningful emotional connection.'-Doug Van Gundy, author of A Life Above Water Cravings possess the citizens of Salem, Virginia. Salacious secrets and unholy connections link ten stories that intersect with an abandoned chapel edging a dark forest, a city-center kugel fountain, and the deceptively serene Crucible Church. Supernatural visions shapeshift within the autumn air. Men on the hunt for intimacy find themselves pursued by predators lurking in bookstore aisles and church sanctuaries. Women encounter brutes that emerge in corporate offices. Some face off with an old painting of a fisherman and syren that mirrors their reality. These Salem citizens engage with the derelict chapel, palm the kugel fountain, and attend Crucible, where their wicked affairs culminate around Peter Merritt, a youth pastor with the goal to become an Air Force chaplain. In the end, Peter must confront heart-wrenching decisions that will decide his fate. The choices and actions of Peter and the others from Salem point toward the inevitable signs of the fall.Signs of The Fall is an unflinching examination of moral corruption in a town on the edge of Appalachia. 6
