5.0

Set in a mining town in a desert in the old west, You'll Surely Drown Here If You Stay brings horror and wonder to the sweet love story of orphans Ellis and Marisol. This could serve as an origin story to Ellis' canonization into one of the American Tall Tales. This atmospheric adventure is written in second-person present-tense, which may have been a stunt but doesn't distract from the beautiful prose.

The story is available for free, here, on Uncanny Magazine's website.
