“Bleeding into a magical car for too many nights, gambling on ghosts, and hoping nobody asks too many questions.”
Coming in at about 30 pages this was a great short, the pacing felt right and the main character was so easy to root for.
No matter how long or short the story is, Stephen Graham Jones always knows how to grab your attention.

Fun little short story about a woman and a haunted Camaro. I'm always amazed at how much character this author can squeeze into short stories. Loved the ending.

Oh I liked this. I'm not a big horror reader, so I may have missed some tropes/allusions, but I really loved the direction the story took and I didn't see the ending coming. It's such a satisfying read!
