All present here are now forced to take a stand and fight back, but whatever has cast its dark eye on Little Heaven is marshaling its power-and it wants them all… Hell-or the closest thing to it-invades Little Heaven. Escape routes are gradually cut off as events spiral toward madness. Paranoia and distrust soon grip the settlement. There are stirrings in the woods and over the treetops-and above all else, the brooding shape of a monolith known as the Black Rock casts its terrible pall. But shortly after they arrive, things begin to turn ominous. A “gripping and terrifying story…and one not to be missed” (Robert McCammon) from the acclaimed author of The Troop and The Deep!Ī trio of mismatched mercenaries-Micah Shughrue, Minerva Atwater, and Ebenzer Elkins, colloquially known as “the Englishman”-is hired by young Ellen Bellhaven for a deceptively simple task: check in on her nephew, who may have been taken against his will to a remote New Mexico backwoods settlement called Little Heaven, where a clandestine religious cult holds sway. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first story, “Virgin,” immediately brings these ideas to attention. Sometimes, short stories are only placed together because they all were written by the same person, but here, that is clearly not the case. The themes of attraction and desire join the stories into a cohesive whole. All these stories function well on their own, yet the award-winning Ayers Lawson successfully connects the short stories to create one coherent and controversial work. “Vulnerability” exhibits a married painter’s attraction towards her art dealer and H., one of the art dealer’s artists. “The Negative Effects of Homeschooling” depicts teenage Connor’s inability to understand Charlene, a woman who was once a man. “The Way You Must Play Always” portrays 13-year-old Gretchen’s desire for her piano teacher’s brother, who is recovering from a brain tumor. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Three Friends in a Hammock” delves into the attraction three divorced women feel towards each other. “Virgin” displays a man named Jake’s experience watching his wife, Sheila, slowly become comfortable with her sexuality.

It’s one reason the Monitor chose last week to visit. Pedestrians glanced at the memorial as they continued about their day.“Everyone is walking on eggshells,” one local told me last week. Twenty-one white crosses surround the fountain downtown, decorated with stuffed animals and superhero action figures that filled my eyes with tears. Twenty-one white crosses are staked in front of a “Welcome to Uvalde” sign. The town I visited last week was quiet, but eerie. Now make it unexpected, add a global media frenzy and a heavy dose of politics, and multiply it by a population of 15,000, and you can begin to imagine what the last 12 months have been like in Uvalde.The town was shellshocked when I visited a year ago.
