From a Whisper to a Scream
“Welcome to Oldfield. Stop in for a night of pure terror.”
The uncle of an executed murderess relates four stories of his hometown, Oldfield, to a reporter. In the first, an elderly man pursues a romance with a younger woman, even to the grave and beyond. In the second, a wounded man on the run from creditors is rescued by a backwoods hermit who holds the secret to eternal life. In the third, a glass-eating carny pays the ultimate price for looking for love on the outside. And in the fourth, a group of Civil War soldiers are held captive by a household of orphans with strange intentions for them.
A delightfully grim and bizarre anthology that revels in its own weirdness. Expect unsettling tales of forbidden desires and gruesome fates, delivered with a darkly comedic, exploitation-fueled energy. Perfect for a night of campy, creepy fun.
