Peculiar Country

by Stuart R West

Overview

Growing up in Peculiar County, Kansas, is a mighty...well, peculiar experience.

In 1965, things get even stranger for Dibby Caldwell, the mortician's fifteen year old daughter. A young boy's ghost haunts Dibby into unearthing the circumstances of his death. Nobody--living or dead--wants her to succeed. James, the new mop-topped, bad boy at school doesn't help.

Dibby can't get him out of her head, even though she doesn't trust him. No, sir, there's nothing much more peculiar than life in Peculiar County...except maybe death in Peculiar County.

About the Author

Stuart R. West is a lifelong resident of Kansas, which he considers both a curse and a blessing. It's a curse because...well, it's Kansas. But it's great because…well, it’s Kansas. Lots of cool, strange and creepy things happen in the Midwest, and Stuart takes advantage of them in his work. Call it “Kansas Noir”. Stuart writes thrillers tinged with horror and horror tinged with thriller, both for adult and young adult audiences. Ghosts of Gannaway is the first of his novels to be published by Books We Love. Stuart spent 25 years in the corporate sector and now writes full time. He’s married to a professor of pharmacy (who greatly appreciates the fact being a full-time writer allows him to cook dinner for her every night) and has a 22 year old daughter who’s still deciding what to do with her life. But that's okay. It took him twenty-five years to figure that out.

Editorial Reviews

I was blown away by Stuart R. West's writing in Peculiar County. The dialogue is colloquial and fresh and full of fun descriptive phrases. I've read a few of his other novels, and they definitely deliver a hypnotic and horrifying read. Get ready for enough twists and turns to upset your stomach when you pick up Peculiar County.
