Description
After tremendous success with their first effort, the Darktown Ladies Book & Gun Club have published again! This second frame story collection of Darktown stories was mentored and edited by the late Mary Jo Newland, Professor of Creative Writing at Penn-Franklin Junior College. Although these stories are as various in subject matter as those in the first collection, this assortment has a much more somber tone than the first, appropriately reflecting the circumstances of Mary Jo's gruesome murder. In addition to an introduction by the famous writer George Badget (who also contributes a story), there are contributions by Darktown Ladies serving time for murder, an excerpt (called here "The Secret Sharer") from best-selling author Bob Johnson's forthcoming autobiographical novel Johnson's Life of Johnson, and an opening story ("My Stalker") by the late Professor Newland herself.
