Available for preorder now! ONE KIND FAVOR by Kevin McIlvoy. https://www.wtawpress.org/p/one-kind-favor-by-kevin-mcilvoy Based loosely on a tragic real-life incident, One Kind Favor takes place in the small fictional community of Cord, North Carolina, where ghosts who frequent the all-in-one bar and consignment shop take on the responsibility of unearthing the truth and acting as the memory for the town that longs to forget and continues to hate. A reimagined Kathy Acker, ...the groundbreaking literary icon, brings a transgressive post-punk esthetic to the mission. The down-the-rabbit-hole satirical storytelling of One Kind Favor, Kevin McIlvoy's sixth novel, echoes Appalachian ghost stories in which haunting presences will, at last, have their way. "I describe Cord as ‘spirit-haunted,’ but is any place in America not haunted by ancestral misdeeds? Squint into the mirror McIlvoy provides, but don’t dare look at the grotesqueries and pretend you’re looking into a funhouse mirror. This is what we really look like. Rion Amilcar Scott, author of The World Doesn’t Require You
