DEAD OF SUMMER is a beach-reading collection of true-crime, true-horror, and generally quirky weirdness from a group of writers who call themselves the Dead of Winter. If you like your sun and sand with a little spontaneous human combustion, this is your book. We examine the latest in the 120-year-old tale of H.H. Holmes--including his 2017 exhumation. We recount the story behind two novels written by Ouija board. We hearken back to the days of carnival freak-and-monstrosity shows. And we do it all with words, pictures, and a healthy dose of humor.
