The Night the New Jesus Fell to Earth - (Southern Revivals) by Ron Rash (Paperback)

The Night the New Jesus Fell to Earth is a captivating collection of short stories that will transport you to the hardscrabble backdrop of the North Carolina foothills.

With ten linked tales, framed like a novel, this book introduces us to three memorable narrators - Tracy, Randy, and Vincent - as they navigate the ups and downs of life in these rugged surroundings.

Through good whiskey, bad marriages, weak foundations, familial legacies, questionable religious observances, and dubious possum breeding, we witness the hard-won reconciliations with self, others, and home that come only through time.

With a comedic touch that may surprise readers familiar only with Rash's later, darker fiction, these stories reveal the author's early craftsmanship and contribution to the fine traditions of southern fiction and lore.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to discover the promising beginnings of a master storyteller in The Night the New Jesus Fell to Earth.
