Synopsis

Over the past twenty years, Jeremy Billingsley has published short stories in numerous print and online sources. His fiction reaches from his roots in the South -- having lived in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi -- to the horrors he’s imagined.
His observations reflect the life of a Southerner and explore just how much the gothic has impacted his life. A sick cow and a sick grandfather place extreme expectations on a boy; a trip down a river captures the moments in a man’s life as he grows older. These stories follow the fictional Cross family over the generations they’ve lived, from South Arkansas to the Ozarks.
His nightmares were born from these quiet observations and expanded into new territories. A soon-to-be stepparent contemplating the weight of their coming responsibilities sees their fortitude tested by a fast-food restaurant’s indoor labyrinthine playground; a child’s drawing summons an Ozark legend; an insurance adjuster investigates a claim of demon possession; an engaged couple is asked to sit with a sick aunt living in isolation for the holidays.
These stories and more provide insight into Billingsley’s mind and reflect life in modern Arkansas, the things observed and the nightmares that disrupt sleep.
