Here in a word is why I love going to my PO Box. Every day is like Christmas. And there is always the possibility of the thrill of discovery when you take off the shrink wrap.

Chasing Demons lives in that Southern Gothic pocket that I love so much. Dark, percussive, insistent. Check out:
Walking Tall - as good a point of entry as there is
